Or why George W. Bush (is the favourite to be) President of the United States in the year 2000!

I have recently been sent a series of genealogical charts which detail a bloodline and its off shoots that will be highly relevant to the readers of The Biggest Secret.

I had no idea of their existence when I wrote The Biggest Secret. Yet it reads like an index of the book and most, if not all, of the major players in the advancing agenda of global control over thousands of years. These charts are stunning confirmation that the same bloodlines have expanded their power out of the Near and Middle East of the ancient world to control the planet today, precisely as detailed in The Biggest Secret.

For readers of The Biggest Secret the following will prove extremely interesting:

This bloodline and its offshoots includes a long line of pharaohs in ancient Egypt, including Rameses II (1295-1228 BC), who is considered to be the greatest pharaoh of all. He was his country's master architect (sacred geometry) and his name can be found on almost every ancient shrine. The gold mines of Nubia made him rich beyond the imagination. This bloodline also includes the extraterrestrial-human hybrids who ruled Sumer, Babylon, Greece, and Troy, and which, today, rule the world.

One common link in this bloodline is Philip of Macedonia (382-336BC),who married Olympias, and their son was Alexander the Great (356-323BC), a tyrant who plundered that key region of Greece, Persia, Syria, Phoenicia, Egypt, Babylon, the former lands of Sumer, and across into India before dying in Babylon at the age of 33. During his rule of Egypt he founded the city of Alexandria, one the greatest centers for esoteric knowledge in the ancient world. Alexander wastaught by the Greek philosopher, Aristotle, who in turn was taught by Plato and he by Socrates. The bloodline and the hidden advanced knowledge have always gone together.

This key bloodline comes down through the most famous Egyptian queen, Cleopatra (60-30BC), who married the most famous Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar, and bore him a son, who became Ptolemy XIV. She also bore twins with Mark Anthony, who has his own connections to this line and its many offshoots; this bloodline also connects to Herod the Great, the "Herod" of the Jesus stories, and continues to the Roman Piso family who, as I explain in The Biggest Secret, wrote the Gospel stories and invented the mythical figure called Jesus!!; the same bloodline includes Constantine the Great, the Roman Emperor who, in 325AD, turned Christianity, based on his ancestors' stories, into the religion we know today, and King Ferdinand of Spain and Queen Isabella of Castile, the sponsors of Christopher Columbus, who instigated the horrific Spanish Inquisition (1478-1834) in which people were tortured and burned at the stake for in any way questioning the basis of the religion their various ancestors had created.

More than that, the most used version of the Bible was commissioned and sponsored by another strand in the same bloodline, King James 1st of England. Just a coincidence, nothing to worry about! The line of James, according to genealogy sources listed below, can be traced back to 1550 BC and beyond and includes many Egyptian pharaohs, including Rameses II.

The bloodline moved into France and northern Europe through the Franks and Meroveus or Merovee, who gave his name to the Merovingian bloodline, and it continues with the rest of the Merovingian clan like Clovis and the Dagoberts who connect into the elite secret society, the Priory of Sion and the Rennes-le-Chateau "mystery" in Languedoc [Provence], Southern France. Many books have been written recentlywhich claim that the Merovingians are the bloodline of "Jesus".

Some of these authors have just been mistaken, others have blatantly sought to confuse and mislead. The Merovingians are a key bloodline, yes, but it has nothing to do with Jesus, who was invented by an earlier family in the same line, the Pisos. Authors like Sir Laurence Gardner (Bloodline of the Holy Grail and a favorite of Nexus Magazine and its owner, Duncan Roads) MUST know this and yet they still connect the Merovingians to "Jesus". Why??

The Merovingians were Goddess Diana worshippers, as are so many in this line to the present day. They founded the city we call Paris and on one of their former sites of Diana ritual, Princess Diana was murdered in the Pont d'Alma tunnel (meaning "bridge or passage of the Moon Goddess") on August 31st, 1997. As The Biggest Secret points out, the Windsors, another Merovingian bloodline, were very much involved in this ritual murder.

From the Merovingians, this bloodline's connections to the present day include: Charlemagne (742-814), who ruled as Emperor of the West in the Holy Roman Empire; a stream of French kings, including Robert II, Philip Ist, II and III, and Louis Ist, II, VI, VII, VIII, VIIII, XIII, IX, XV, and XVI. The latter married Marie Antoinette of this same bloodline and both were executed in the French Revolution. But they produced the son who became Daniel Payseur, who, as The Biggest Secret explains, was taken to the United States where he became the secret force behind the Morgan and Carnegie empires and owned vast amounts of real estate, banking, and industrial holdings.

This bloodline also connects to the de Medici family which supported Christopher Columbus and produced Catherine de Medici, the Queen of France who died in 1589. Her doctor was Nostradamus: It includes Rene d'Anjou, Duke of Lorraine, and the House of Lorraine which employed Nostradamus and Christopher Columbus. The bloodline relatives of the de Medicis and the House of Lorraine, Queen Isabella of Castile and King Ferdinand of Spain, were also sponsors of Columbus when he "discovered" the Americas.

This bloodline also includes the Habsburgs, the most powerful family in Europe under the Holy Roman Empire; Geoffrey Plantagenet and the Plantagenet royal dynasty in England; King John, who signed the Magna Carta; King Henry Ist, II, and III, who were extremely close to the Knights Templar, as was King John; Mary Stuart and the Stuart Dynasty, including King James Ist of England, sponsor of the King James version of the Bible; King George Ist, II, and III; Edward Ist, II, and III, Queen Victoria; Edward VII; George V and VI; Queen Elizabeth II; Prince Charles and Elizabeth's other offspring, Anne, Andrew and Edward; Princes William and Harry from Charles' "marriage" to Princess Diana; US Presidents, George Washington, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and George Bush are all named in the charts as strands of this bloodline; it was passed on to the year 2000 US presidential favorite, George W. Bush Jr., and his brother, Jeb Bush, the Governor of Florida.

In fact if you go deeply enough into the genealogical research you will find that ALL the presidents are from this line. Genealogical sources, like the New England Historical Genealogical Society and Burkes Peerage, have shown that 33 of the 42 presidents to Clinton are related to Charlemagne and 19 are related to England's Edward III, both of whom are of this bloodline. A spokesman for Burkes Peerage, the bible of royal and aristocratic genealogy based in London, hassaid that every presidential election since and including George Washington in 1789 has been won by the candidate with the most royal genes. Now we can see how and why. United States presidents are not chosen by ballot, they are chosen by blood!

This same bloodline also includes key Scottish families like the Lords of Galloway and the Comyns; Marie-Louise of Austria, who married Napoleon Bonaparte; Kaiser Wilhelm II, the king of Germany at the time of the First World War; and Maximilian, the Habsburg emperor of Mexico, who died in 1867. On and on it goes into country after country. This bloodline connects into every surviving royal family in Europe, including King Juan Carlos of Spain and the Dutch, Swedish,and Danish royal lines.

And this is just ONE of the reptilian bloodlines and just SOME of its offshoots.

There are others which connect with these names and span the same period and beyond to thousands of years BC.

Our appreciation to the Totsie WebSite for this Genealogy File. The Piso Homepage researchers tell me that the Totse charts, posted in 1992, are overwhelmingly accurate, but a few of the connections made by the genealogical records at the Mormon centre in Salt Lake City have proved to be less than 100%. However, there are so many genealogical links between these bloodlines that the same connections can be made via other routes. The Piso Homepage genealogy is the most up to date in their research so far.Other genealogical sources include the New England Historical Genealogy Society, Burkes Peerage, and a genealogist in the United States, who has been studying and charting the bloodlines of the elite families for 26 years. He wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons.

Did you know all 43 U.S. presidents have carried European royal bloodlines into office? 34 have been genetic descendants from just one person, Charlemagne, the brutal eighth century King of the Franks. 19 of them directly descended from King Edward III of England. In fact, the presidential candidate with the most royal genes has won every single American election.

“This information comes from Burke's Peerage, which is the Bible of aristocratic genealogy, based in London. Every presidential election in America, since and including George Washington in 1789 to Bill Clinton, has been won by the candidate with the most British and French royal genes. Of the 42 presidents to Clinton, 33 have been related to two people: Alfred the Great, King of England, and Charlemagne, the most famous monarch of France. So it goes on: 19 of them are related to England's Edward III, who has 2000 blood connections to Prince Charles. The same goes with the banking families in America. George Bush and Barbara Bush are from the same bloodline - the Pierce bloodline, which changed its name from Percy, when it crossed the Atlantic. Percy is one of the aristocratic families of Britain, to this day. They were involved in the Gunpowder Plot to blow up Parliament at the time of Guy Fawkes” -Researcher/Author David Icke, “Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center”

If America declared its Independence from the European monarchies in 1776, how is it possible that every single president has descended from European monarchs? If presidents are democratically elected as we are told, what are the odds that we would always choose members of British and French royal bloodlines to lead us?

“The Americas have always been owned and governed by the same royal families of Britain and Europe that conventional history states as being among those defeated during the wars of so-called ‘Independence.’” -Michael Tsarion, “Astrotheology and Sidereal Mythology”

“If it really is the Land of the Free and if, as is claimed, anyone really can become the president, you would fairly expect that the 43 presidents from George Washington to George W. Bush would express that genetic diversity. You're having a laugh. The presidents of the United States are as much a royal dynasty as anything in Europe, from whence their bloodlines came.” -David Icke, “Tales from the Time Loop”

Researchers like David Icke, Michael Tsarion, and Fritz Springmeier, along with foundations like the New England Historical Genealogy Society, Burkes Peerage, the Roman Piso Homepage, and other reliable genealogical sources have documented these royal presidential bloodlines. Actually, by branching out far enough on the presidential family tree, the dedicated researcher will find that all 43 presidents share kinship, belonging to the same general ancestry, often called the 13th Illuminati bloodline, the Merovingian line, and/or the Windsor-Bush bloodline.

“If you go deeply enough into the genealogical research you will find that ALL the presidents are from this line …A spokesman for Burkes Peerage, the bible of royal and aristocratic genealogy based in London, has said that every presidential election since and including George Washington in 1789 has been won by the candidate with the most royal genes. Now we can see how and why. United States presidents are not chosen by ballot, they are chosen by blood!” -David Icke, “The Windsor-Bush Bloodline”Granted the relationships are sometimes distant 10th or 15th cousins, but in a country with hundreds of millions to choose from, this simply cannot be chance or coincidence. Gary Boyd Roberts, a genealogist at the New England Historic Genealogical Society thoroughly traced these connections in his book “Ancestors of American Presidents.” George W. Bush himself is directly related to 16 former U.S. presidents including George Washington, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Grover Cleveland, Teddy Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford.

Bush is closely related to the king of Albania and has kinship with every member of the British royal family and the House of Windsor. He is related to 20 British Dukes, the 13th cousin of Britain’s Queen Mother, and of her daughter Queen Elizabeth. He is 13th cousin once removed from Prince Charles and has direct descent from King Henry III, Charles II, and Edward I of England. Through the House of Windsor and King Henry III, the Bush’s and Bill Clinton are genetically related as well.

“According to Burke's Peerage, even according to the official genealogy, Bill Clinton is genetically related to the House of Windsor, the present royal family in Britain; to every Scottish monarch; to King Henry III of England; and to Robert I of France.” -David Icke, “Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center”

In 2004 George W. Bush ran as a “Republican” against “Democrat” John Forbes Kerry – his 16th cousin. These cousins, related to the same British and French monarchs, are also secret society brothers in the infamous Skull and Bones fraternity. John Kerry descends from King Henry II of England and Richard the Lionheart, leader of the third Christian crusade in 1189. He also has links to royalty in Albania, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Russia, Persia, and France, but still not enough royal genes to top George Bush. Earlier in 2000 we see the same story - George W. Bush ran neck and neck with Al Gore; another supposed democrat and cousin of the Bush family.

“Al Gore is a descendant of Edward I, Roman Emperors Louis I, II, and Charles II and is direct descendant of Charlemagne which makes him a distant cousin of Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. So the top “democratic” candidates against Bush in 2000 and 2004 were actually his cousins!” -Michael Tsarion, “Where History Ends DVD”

“Never in the history of the United States have two presidential candidates been as well endowed with royal alliances. There has always been a significant “royal factor,” in those who aspired to the White House, with Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, among others, all boasting blue blood links. Al Gore…a descendant of Edward I, he is also a cousin of former U.S. President Richard Nixon, who resigned from the White House in 1974 for his part in the Watergate scandal. However, Al Gore does have direct links to the Holy Roman Empire. He is descendant of Roman Emperors Louis II, Charles II, and Louis I and is therefore also a direct descendant of Charlemagne, the eighth-century Emperor. The problem is that Gore’s Charlemagne links also make him a cousin of George W. Bush.” -Harold Brooks-Baker, Burke’s Peerage Publishing Director from p. 7, NEXUS magazine, Vol. 8, No 1, January-February edition

By placing bloodline members on both sides of America’s faux political dichotomy, the old monarchs have guaranteed their right to throne under the guise of democratic elections. Back in 1996 we see the same tactic as “Democrat” Bill Clinton defeated “Republican” Bob Dole, his cousin.

“Even Bill Clinton and Bob Dole, who ‘opposed’ each other at the 1996 election, are distant cousins. They can trace their ancestry to England’s King Henry III, who reigned from 1227 to 1273, and US Presidents William Henry and Benjamin Harrison …Clinton has far more royal blood than Dole and is directly descended from the same bloodline as the House of Windsor, every Scottish monarch, and King Robert I of France. This is why he was the Brotherhood’s choice.” -David Icke, “The Biggest Secret” (191-192)

The Windsor-Bush bloodline reaches from the American presidents, back to British/European royalty, and it doesn’t stop there. It continues back through Roman emperors, all the way to Babylonian Kings and Egyptian Pharaohs near the beginning of recorded history.

From Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI, the French line continues back through Louis XV-I, Charles XI-I, Henry IV-I, Philip V-I, Robert II and many other French monarchs. It passes the de Medici family, specifically Queen Catherine de Medici of France, who supported Columbus’ expedition to the “New World” along with bloodline Queen Isabella of Castile, King Ferdinand of Spain, and the House of Lorraine. It was also Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand who started the 350 year Spanish Inquisition, which ordered the murder of millions who refused to convert to Christianity. And from the House of Lorraine, Duke Godfroi de Bouillon became the first Crusader King of Jerusalem.

“Father George and wife Barbara [Bush] are both descendants of Godfroi de Bouillon who, in 1099, led European noblemen in the successful Crusade to recapture Jerusalem from the Islamic faith and moved into the King’s palace at Temple Mount … Godfroi de Bouillon was the first king of Jerusalem and the Duke of Lower Lorraine, a major region for the Illuminati bloodline …So when George W. Bush, a descendant of the de Bouillon through his mother and father, talked of a “Crusade” against “Islamic” terrorism…this was no slip of the tongue…as was reported” - David Icke “Alice In Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster”

The British line goes back from Prince William and Harry, through Prince Charles and Princess Diana, to Queen Elizabeth II, King George VI and V, King Edward VII, Queen Victoria, King Edward III, II, I, and King George III, II, I. Then it passes through King James I who ordered and financed the now most-widely read version of the Bible. Before James came Mary Stuart, King Henry III, II, I, King John (signer of the Magna Carta) and back to the Plantagenet and Habsburg dynasties under the Roman Empire. Other branches carried the bloodline to Scotland, Austria, Germany, Spain, Sweden and even Mexico:

“This same bloodline also includes key Scottish families like the Lords of Galloway and the Comyns; Marie-Louise of Austria, who married Napoleon Bonaparte; Kaiser Wilhelm II, the king of Germany at the time of the First World War; and Maximilian, the Habsburg emperor of Mexico, who died in 1867. On and on it goes into country after country. This bloodline connects into every surviving royal family in Europe, including King Juan Carlos of Spain and the Dutch, Swedish, and Danish royal lines.” -David Icke, “The Windsor-Bush Bloodline”

Before the Habsburgs, the House of Lorraine and Charlemagne were the Merovingians (Meroveus/Merovee) who originally brought the bloodline to France and Northwest Europe. Back in 4th century Rome the bloodline passed through Emperor Constantine, the first professed Christian emperor who initiated the Roman Empire’s transition into a Christian State and presided over the first Council of Nicaea. He was preceded by the Roman Piso family whom will be discussed at length later. Before them came Herod the Great of Biblical fame and Ptolemy XIV, son of the most well-known Roman emperor Julius Caesar. Caesar actually married into the bloodline through Cleopatra, the most well-known Egyptian Queen.

A little further down this very same bloodline brings us to Alexander the Great:

“One common link in this bloodline is Philip of Macedonia (382-336BC),who married Olympias, and their son was Alexander the Great (356-323BC), a tyrant who plundered that key region of Greece, Persia, Syria, Phoenicia, Egypt, Babylon, the former lands of Sumer, and across into India before dying in Babylon at the age of 33. During his rule of Egypt he founded the city of Alexandria, one the greatest centers for esoteric knowledge in the ancient world. Alexander was taught by the Greek philosopher, Aristotle, who in turn was taught by Plato and he by Socrates. The bloodline and the hidden advanced knowledge have always gone together.” -David Icke, “The Windsor-Bush Bloodline” Back the bloodline goes past Alexander, past Nebuchadnezzar IV, III and other Kings of Babylon, all the way to ancient African Kings and Pharaohs of Egypt - Ramesis II, I, Tuthmosis IV, III, II, I, Amenhotep III, II, I and many more. For millennia these Kings, Queens, Pharaohs, and Emperors have obsessively interbred with themselves to preserve and spread their bloodline. They have ruled over us since the beginning of recorded history, claiming they were given divine right to the throne by God or gods.

“This 'Divine right' is simply the right to rule by DNA. We have a head of state in Britain to this day who is only there because of her DNA and the whole freeloading hierarchy of the royal family is structured according to a person's DNA relationship to the king or queen …what is royal rule by DNA if not outrageous racial and genetic elitism? This 'Divine' right to rule has nothing to do with the 'Divine' and everything to do with the real origin of these bloodlines. They claim to descend from the 'gods' of the ancient world and who or what these 'gods' were and are, I will explain in detail later. The 'royal' families have interbred incessantly with each other since ancient times because they are seeking to retain the DNA corruption that can apparently be quickly diluted by breeding outside of itself. How interesting that the families of the Illuminati and the power elite do the same to this day. Why? They are the same bloodlines. The royal 'Divine' bloodlines of ancient Sumer and Babylon (now Iraq), Egypt, the Indus Valley and elsewhere expanded into Europe to become the royal and aristocratic families that ruled that continent and most of the world through the British Empire and those of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and so on. As the people began to challenge and reject the open dictatorship of royal rule the bloodlines began to move 'underground' by operating among the population in all the areas that control modern society …You will find a similar story all over the world. Credo Mutwa, the official historian of the Zulu nation, told me how so many black African leaders that were placed in power after the colonial masters gave the continent 'independence', came from the bloodlines of African kings and queens who claimed to descend from the same 'gods' as their white counterparts.” -David Icke, “Tales from the Time Loop”

The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is a German dynasty, the senior line of the Saxon House of Wettin that ruled the Ernestine duchies, including the duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Founded by Ernst Anton, the sixth duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, it is also the royal house of several European monarchies, and branches currently reign in Belgium through the descendants of Leopold I, and in the Commonwealth realms through the descendants of Prince Albert. Due to anti-German sentiment in the United Kingdom during World War I, George V of the United Kingdom changed the name of his branch from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor in 1917. The same happened in Belgium where it was changed to "van België" (Dutch) or "de Belgique" (French).

The first duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was Ernst I, who reigned from 1826 until his death in 1844. He had previously been Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (as Ernest III) from 1806 until the duchy was reorganized in 1826. Ernst's younger brother Leopold became King of the Belgians in 1831, and his descendants continue to serve as Belgian head of state. Léopold's only daughter, Princess Charlotte of Belgium, was the consort of Maximilian I of Mexico, known as the Empress Carlota of Mexico, in the 1860s. Ernst's nephew Ferdinand married Queen Maria II of Portugal, and his descendants continued to rule Portugal until that country became a republic in 1910.

He was the eldest son of Francis, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld and Countess Augusta of Reuss-Ebersdorf. His younger brother, Leopold Georg Christian Frederick, was later elected the first King of the Belgians.On 10 May 1803 he was hurriedly proclaimed an adult, because his father became gravely ill in the spring of that year and he was required to take part in the government of the duchy. When his father died in 1806, he succeeded in the duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld as Ernest III , but could not take the formal government of his lands because the duchy was occupied by the Napoleonic troops and was under French administration. Only after the Peace of Tilsit (1807) was the duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld reunited (first having been dissolved) and returned to Ernest. This occurred through Russian pressure, since his sister Juliane was married to the brother of the Russian Tsar.Ernest was a Prussian general and participated in fights against Napoleon. He fought in the battles of Auerstedt (1806), Lützen and Leipzig (1813) and drew in 1814 into the French fortress of Mainz. After the defeat of Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo, the Congress of Vienna on 9 June 1815 gave him an area of 8.25 square miles (21.4 km2) with 25,000 inhabitants around the capital St. Wendel. In 1819 this land received the name of Principality of Lichtenberg. He sold it to Prussia in 1834.

In Gotha on 3 July 1817 Ernest married Princess Louise of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. They had two children:

1. Ernest II Augustus Charles John Leopold Alexander Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha2. Francis Augustus Charles Albert Emmanuel, better known as Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria and Prince Consort of the United Kingdom.

His marriage was unhappy due to his own acts of infidelity. Ernest and Louise were separated in 1824 and were officially divorced on 31 March 1826. Despite being the innocent party Louise was parted from her children and died at 30The death in 1825 of the last duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, Louise's uncle, resulted in a rearrangement of the Ernestine duchies. Ernest at the time was in the process of divorcing Louise, and because of this the other branches objected to him receiving Gotha. They reached a compromise on 12 November 1826: Ernest received Gotha and ceded Saalfeld to Saxe-Meiningen. He subsequently became Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.In Coburg on 23 December 1832, Ernest married secondly with his niece Duchess Marie of Württemberg, the daughter of his sister Antoinette. They had no children. This marriage made Marie both Prince Albert's cousin and his stepmother.Ernest had three illegitimate children:

1. Ernst Albert Bruno von Bruneck (d. 1838).2. Robert Ferdinand von Bruneck (d. 1856), created in 1856 Freiherr von Bruneck.He is the patrilineal ancestor of both the Duke of Gloucester and Duke of Kent, as well as being the great-great-great-grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Salian Franks or Salii were a subgroup of the early Franks who originally had been living north of the limes in the area above the Rhine. The Merovingian kings responsible for the conquest of Gaul were Salians. From the 3rd century on, the Salian Franks appear in the historical records as warlike Germanic people and pirates, and as Laeti (allies of the Romans). They were the first Germanic tribe from beyond the limes who settled permanently on Roman land. In 358, they came to some form of agreement with the Romans that allowed them to settle in Toxandria (roughly the area of the current Dutch and Belgian provinces of Noord-Brabant, Antwerpen and Vlaams-Brabant).The Salians fully adopted the Frankish identity and gradually ceased to appear by their original name from the 7th century onward, when they evolved into the Franks par excellence.[1] The Lex Ripuaria originated about 630 around Cologne and has been described as a later development of the Frankish laws known from Lex Salica. Contrary to popular opinion, there was no division of Franks between Salians and Ripuarians.[2][verification needed]

Etymology

From the early 6th century on, the name Salian Franks (or Salii in Latin)[3] is used to contrast with the Ripuarian Franks. Salii may have derived from the name of the medieval lakeland Sall zee area, or to the IJssel river, formerly called Hisloa or Hisla, and in ancient times, Sala,[4] signalling this as the Salians' original residence. Today this area is called Salland.

Culture

The Salian Frank language belongs to, and is ancestral to, the family of Low Franconian dialects. The Salian Franks are one of the peoples who formed the foundation for early Dutch culture and society (along with other Frankish groups, Frisians and native Belgian tribes). According to modern scholars such as Robinson, their language evolved from Franconian into Dutch. After settling within Roman territory, they developed an organized society that tilled the land and did not pose a threat to the neighboring Romans.

The Salian tribes constituted a loose confederacy who stood together to negotiate with Roman authority. Each tribe consisted of extended family groups centered around a particularly renowned or noble family. The importance of the family bond was made clear by the Salic Law, which ordained that an individual had no right to protection if not part of a family.

The Merovingians (also Merovings) were a Salian Frankish dynasty that came to rule the Franks in a region (known as Francia in Latin) largely corresponding to ancient Gaul from the middle of the 5th century. Their politics involved frequent civil warfare among branches of the family. During the final century of the Merovingian rule, the dynasty was increasingly pushed into a ceremonial role. The Merovingian rule was ended March 752 when Pope Zachary formally deposed Childeric III.[1][2] Zachary's successor, Pope Stephen II, re-confirmed and crowned Pepin the Short in Childeric's place in 754 beginning the Carolingian monarchy and early introduction of the Holy Roman Empire.They were sometimes referred to as the "long-haired kings" (Latin reges criniti) by contemporaries, for their symbolically unshorn hair (traditionally the tribal leader of the Franks wore his hair long, as distinct from the Romans and the tonsured clergy). The term "Merovingian" comes from medieval Latin Merovingi or Merohingi ("sons of Merovech"), an alteration of an unattested Old West Low Franconian form, akin to their dynasty's Old English name Merewīowing,[3] with the final -ing being a typical patronymic suffix.

The Merovingian dynasty owes its name to the semi-legendary Merovech (Latinised as Meroveus or Merovius), leader of the Salian Franks, and emerges into wider history with the victories of his son Childeric I (reigned c.457 – 481) against the Visigoths, Saxons, and Alemanni. Childeric's son Clovis I (481 – 511) went on to unite most of Gaul north of the Loire under his control around 486, when he defeated Syagrius, the Roman ruler in those parts. He won the Battle of Tolbiac against the Alemanni in 496, at which time, according to Gregory of Tours, Clovis adopted his wife's Nicene Christian faith. He subsequently went on to decisively defeat the Visigothic kingdom of Toulouse in the Battle of Vouillé in 507. After Clovis' death, his kingdom was partitioned among his four sons, and over the next century this tradition of partition continued. Even when several Merovingian kings simultaneously ruled their own realms, the kingdom — not unlike the late Roman Empire — was conceived of as a single entity ruled collectively by these several kings (in their own realms) among whom a turn of events could result in the reunification of the whole kingdom under a single ruler. Leadership among the early Merovingians was probably based on mythical descent and alleged divine patronage, expressed in terms of continued military success.

I have recently been sent a series of genealogical charts which detail a bloodline and its off shoots that will be highly relevant to the readers of The Biggest Secret.

I had no idea of their existence when I wrote The Biggest Secret. Yet it reads like an index of the book and most, if not all, of the major players in the advancing agenda of global control over thousands of years.

These charts are stunning confirmation that the same bloodlines have expanded their power out of the Near and Middle East of the ancient world to control the planet today, precisely as detailed in The Biggest Secret.

For readers of The Biggest Secret the following will prove extremely interesting:

The Merovingians

This bloodline and its offshoots includes a long line of pharaohs in ancient Egypt, including Rameses II (1295-1228 BC), who is considered to be the greatest pharaoh of all.

He was his country's master architect (sacred geometry) and his name can be found on almost every ancient shrine. The gold mines of Nubia made him rich beyond the imagination. This bloodline also includes the extraterrestrial-human hybrids who ruled Sumer, Babylon, Greece, and Troy, and which, today, rule the world.

One common link in this bloodline is Philip of Macedonia (382-336BC),who married Olympias, and their son was Alexander the Great (356-323BC), a tyrant who plundered that key region of Greece, Persia, Syria, Phoenicia, Egypt, Babylon, the former lands of Sumer, and across into India before dying in Babylon at the age of 33.

During his rule of Egypt he founded the city of Alexandria, one the greatest centers for esoteric knowledge in the ancient world. Alexander was taught by the Greek philosopher, Aristotle, who in turn was taught by Plato and he by Socrates. The bloodline and the hidden advanced knowledge have always gone together.

This key bloodline comes down through the most famous Egyptian queen, Cleopatra (60-30BC), who married the most famous Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar, and bore him a son, who became Ptolemy XIV.

• She also bore twins with Mark Anthony, who has his own connections to this line and its many offshoots• This bloodline also connects to Herod the Great, the "Herod" of the Jesus stories, and continues to the Roman Piso family who, as I explain in The Biggest Secret, wrote the Gospel stories and invented the mythical figure called Jesus!!• The same bloodline includes Constantine the Great, the Roman Emperor who, in 325AD, turned Christianity, based on his ancestors' stories, into the religion we know today• King Ferdinand of Spain and Queen Isabella of Castile, the sponsors of Christopher Columbus, who instigated the horrific Spanish Inquisition (1478-1834) in which people were tortured and burned at the stake for in any way questioning the basis of the religion their various ancestors had createdMore than that, the most used version of the Bible was commissioned and sponsored by another strand in the same bloodline, King James 1st of England.

Just a coincidence, nothing to worry about! The line of James, according to genealogy sources listed below, can be traced back to 1550 BC and beyond and includes many Egyptian pharaohs, including Rameses II.

The bloodline moved into France and northern Europe through the Franks and Meroveus or Merovee, who gave his name to the Merovingian bloodline, and it continues with the rest of the Merovingian clan like Clovis and the Dagoberts who connect into the elite secret society, the Priory of Sion and the Rennes-le-Chateau "mystery" in Languedoc [Provence], Southern France. Many books have been written recently which claim that the Merovingians are the bloodline of "Jesus".

Some of these authors have just been mistaken, others have blatantly sought to confuse and mislead. The Merovingians are a key bloodline, yes, but it has nothing to do with Jesus, who was invented by an earlier family in the same line, the Pisos. Authors like Sir Laurence Gardner (Bloodline of the Holy Grail and a favorite of Nexus Magazine and its owner, Duncan Roads) MUST know this and yet they still connect the Merovingians to "Jesus". Why??

The Merovingians were Goddess Diana worshippers, as are so many in this line to the present day. They founded the city we call Paris and on one of their former sites of Diana ritual, Princess Diana was murdered in the Pont d'Alma tunnel (meaning "bridge or passage of the Moon Goddess") on August 31st, 1997. As The Biggest Secret points out, the Windsors, another Merovingian bloodline, were very much involved in this ritual murder.

From the Merovingians, this bloodline's connections to the present day include: Charlemagne (742-814), who ruled as Emperor of the West in the Holy Roman Empire; a stream of French kings, including Robert II, Philip Ist, II and III, and Louis Ist, II, VI, VII, VIII, VIIII, XIII, IX, XV, and XVI.

The latter married Marie Antoinette of this same bloodline and both were executed in the French Revolution. But they produced the son who became Daniel Payseur, who, as The Biggest Secret explains, was taken to the United States where he became the secret force behind the Morgan and Carnegie empires and owned vast amounts of real estate, banking, and industrial holdings.

This bloodline also connects to the de Medici family which supported Christopher Columbus and produced Catherine de Medici, the Queen of France who died in 1589. Her doctor was Nostradamus: It includes Rene d'Anjou, Duke of Lorraine, and the House of Lorraine which employed Nostradamus and Christopher Columbus.

The bloodline relatives of the de Medicis and the House of Lorraine, Queen Isabella of Castile and King Ferdinand of Spain, were also sponsors of Columbus when he "discovered" the Americas.

This bloodline also includes:

1. the Habsburgs, the most powerful family in Europe under the Holy Roman Empire2. Geoffrey Plantagenet and the Plantagenet royal dynasty in England3. King John, who signed the Magna Carta4. King Henry Ist, II, and III, who were extremely close to the Knights Templar, as was King John5. Mary Stuart and the Stuart Dynasty, including King James Ist of England, sponsor of the King James version of the Bible6. King George Ist, II, and III7. Edward Ist, II, and III, Queen Victoria8. Edward VII9. George V and VI10. Queen Elizabeth II11. Prince Charles and Elizabeth's other offspring, Anne, Andrew and Edward12. Princes William and Harry from Charles' "marriage" to Princess Diana13. US Presidents, George Washington, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and George Bush are all named in the charts as strands of this bloodline14. it was passed on to the year 2000 US presidential favorite, George W. Bush Jr., and his brother, Jeb Bush, the Governor of FloridaIn fact if you go deeply enough into the genealogical research you will find that ALL the presidents are from this line.

Genealogical sources, like the New England Historical Genealogical Society and Burkes Peerage, have shown that 33 of the 42 presidents to Clinton are related to Charlemagne and 19 are related to England's Edward III, both of whom are of this bloodline.

A spokesman for Burkes Peerage, the bible of royal and aristocratic genealogy based in London, has said that every presidential election since and including George Washington in 1789 has been won by the candidate with the most royal genes. Now we can see how and why. United States presidents are not chosen by ballot, they are chosen by blood!

This same bloodline also includes:

• key Scottish families like the Lords of Galloway and the Comyns• Marie-Louise of Austria, who married Napoleon Bonaparte• Kaiser Wilhelm II, the king of Germany at the time of the First World War• Maximilian, the Habsburg emperor of Mexico, who died in 1867

On and on it goes into country after country. This bloodline connects into every surviving royal family in Europe, including King Juan Carlos of Spain and the Dutch, Swedish, and Danish royal lines.

And this is just ONE of the reptilian bloodlines and just SOME of its offshoots.

There are others which connect with these names and span the same period and beyond to thousands of years BC.

Piso-Bush Geneology:

Our appreciation to the Totsie WebSite for this Genealogy File.

The Piso Homepage researchers tell me that the Totse charts, posted in 1992, are overwhelmingly accurate, but a few of the connections made by the genealogical records at the Mormon Centre in Salt Lake City have proved to be less than 100%. However, there are so many genealogical links between these bloodlines that the same connections can be made via other routes.

The Piso genealogy is the most up to date in their research so far. Other genealogical sources include the New England Historical Genealogy Society, Burkes Peerage, and a genealogist in the United States, who has been studying and charting the bloodlines of the elite families for 26 years.

Plymouth Colony (sometimes New Plymouth, or Plymouth Bay Colony) was an English colonial venture in North America from 1620 to 1691. The first settlement of the Plymouth Colony was at New Plymouth, a location previously surveyed and named by Captain John Smith. The settlement, which served as the capital of the colony, is today the modern town of Plymouth, Massachusetts. At its height, Plymouth Colony occupied most of the southeastern portion of the modern state of Massachusetts.

Founded by a group of Separatists and Anglicans, who together later came to be known as the Pilgrims, Plymouth Colony was, along with Jamestown, Virginia, one of the earliest successful colonies to be founded by the English in North America and the first sizable permanent English settlement in the New England region. Aided by Squanto, a Native American of the Patuxet people, the colony was able to establish a treaty with Chief Massasoit which helped to ensure the colony's success. It played a central role in King Philip's War, one of the earliest of the Indian Wars. Ultimately, the colony was merged with the Massachusetts Bay Colony and other territories in 1691 to form the Province of Massachusetts Bay.

Despite the colony's relatively short history, Plymouth holds a special role in American history. Rather than being entrepreneurs like many of the settlers of Jamestown, a significant proportion of the citizens of Plymouth were fleeing religious persecution and searching for a place to worship as they saw fit. The social and legal systems of the colony became closely tied to their religious beliefs, as well as English custom. Many of the people and events surrounding Plymouth Colony have become part of American folklore, including the North American tradition known as Thanksgiving and the monument known as Plymouth Rock.

Plymouth Colony was founded by a group of people who later came to be known as the "Pilgrims". The core group—roughly 40% of the adults and 56% of the family groupings—was part of a congregation of religious separatists led by pastor John Robinson, church elder William Brewster, and William Bradford. While still in the town of Scrooby in Nottinghamshire, England, the congregation began to feel the pressures of religious persecution. In 1607 Tobias Matthew, Archbishop of York, raided homes and imprisoned several members of the congregation.[2][3] The congregation then left England and emigrated to the Netherlands, first to Amsterdam and then to Leiden, in 1609.

In Leiden, the congregation gained the freedom to worship as it chose, but Dutch society was unfamiliar to these immigrants. Scrooby had been an agricultural community, whereas Leiden was a thriving industrial center, and the pace of life was hard on the Separatists. Furthermore, though the community remained close-knit, their children began adopting Dutch language and customs. The Separatists were also still not free from the persecutions of the English Crown; in 1618, after William Brewster published comments highly critical of the King of England and the Anglican Church, English authorities came to Leiden to arrest him. Though Brewster escaped arrest, the events spurred the congregation to move even farther from England.

In June 1619, after declining the opportunity to settle south of Cape Cod in New Netherland, because of their desire to avoid the Dutch influence,[6] the Congregation obtained a land patent from the London Virginia Company, allowing them to settle at the mouth of the Hudson River. They then sought financing through the Merchant Adventurers, a group of businessmen who principally viewed the colony as a means of making a profit. Upon arriving in America, the Pilgrims began working to repay their debts.

Using the financing secured from the Merchant Adventurers, the Colonists bought provisions and obtained passage on two ships, the Mayflower and the Speedwell. Though they had intended to leave early in 1620, difficulties in dealing with the Merchant Adventurers, including several changes in plans for the voyage and in financing, resulted in a delay of several months. The Congregation and the other colonists finally boarded the Speedwell in July 1620 in the Dutch port of Delfshaven.

Pilgrims (US), or Pilgrim Fathers (UK), is a name commonly applied to early settlers of the Plymouth Colony in present-day Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Their leadership came from the religious congregations of English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States.

Many of the 26 Pilgrim Father family groups in the united States that are descended from the 106 passengers on the Mayflower have websites. Some of these record that there are notable descendants of the separatists who came from Pilgrim Country. In the main these websites show the lineage traced back to the original Pilgrim Father.

Even today it’s members consist of the wealthiest businessman and the most influential politicians. It was erected over a century ago and meets at least 2 or 3 times a year. Still, 99% of the world has never heard of it. We’re talking about the Pilgrims Society. An aristocratic Anglo-American dining club who’s members keep themselves informed by inviting politicians to make a speech. The primary purpose of this club is to keep the ties between the United States and Britain as strong as possible. The official reason was, and is, that the forefathers of most Americans from the Virginia and New York area emigrated from the British Isles, therefore they share a common heritage.

They are blood brothers so to speak. Of course, the obvious reason was to form an unofficial alliance with the United States to improve the strained relations and to vastly increase the powers of the dwindling British empire. The heart of the British empire and the later British Commonwealth became the Pilgrims Society, it’s philosophies dominated by the executives of the upcoming mega corporations, largely located in the City of London and the city of New York.

The London chapter of the Pilgrims Society was established on July 11, 1902, followed by a New York chapter on January 13, 1903. It’s patron is the British monarch, who has plenty of representatives attending the meetings. A member of the Royal family usually attends the London diners.

As you’ll find out by looking at the membership list, the Pilgrims Society has clearly fused together the business centers of New York and London, together with a large portion of the political centers of both nations. Ninety percent of the American members are top-level bankers and businessmen from New York city.

Only a couple of Pilgrims own or chair companies with headquarters in Boston or Philadelphia. Businesses that have their headquarters in any other location than this small part of the north-east corner of the United States don’t seem to be represented at all (do keep in mind that recent data is sketchy). Relatively few government officials from Washington are recruited into the Pilgrims Society. Officials from outside the UK or US visit the club occasionally. In the past they usually came from countries incorporated within the British Empire or the Commonwealth, most notably Canada and Australia.

A mistake usually made when people refer to this society, is when they call it the ’Pilgrim Society’, because this name hasn’t been used that often. The most often used name is the ’Pilgrims Society’, sometimes spelled as ’Pilgrim’s Society’. You might think this isn’t such a big deal, but when you search the internet or some archives for the ’Pilgrim Society’, you will hardly find any official sources, simply because they all refer to the ’Pilgrims Society’. The name ’Pilgrims Society’ is also unique, so you won’t confuse it with this one. Also try searching on ’The Pilgrims’ or more specifically, the ’Pilgrims of the United States’ and the ’Pilgrims of the United Kingdom’/’Pilgrims of Great Britain’.

The club is secret. It might be one of those ’open-secrets’, but it’s secret nonetheless. If it wasn’t, we would have read about it in the history books, we would know all the details of the meetings, and we would have membership lists in the public domain. It is possible to find quite a bit of information in regular newspaper archives, but you really have to look for it. It takes forever to piece the story together. For example, The Scotsman made numerous references to it in the first half of the century (archives are only available up to 1950 atm). Time Magazine made them much less, but still referred to the club once every few years. After 1958, Time only mentioned the club 2 or 3 times, even though meetings continued as usual. Other newspapers in the U.S., like the New York Times and the Washington Post have referred the Pilgrims at times.

The Wall Street Journal on the other hand never mentioned a whole lot about this dining club at any time in the past century. The Times of London mentioned the society a couple of times in the past 10 years, even though, as all the other papers, it didn’t give many details about who’s attending. Most other newspapers, including the Scotsman, New York Post, Washington Times, or even the Guardian, seem to have been (almost) completely silent about the Pilgrims in the last 5 to 7 years (that’s how far the digital archives go back). In other countries it’s virtually impossible to get any information on the Pilgrims. Not one large Dutch newspaper has mentioned the name in the past 20 years. References in German or French newspapers are just as uncommon.

One thing you actually can find, is different speeches on official websites: One at NATO, another one at the State Department, and yet another one from 1999 on the MoD website. They all deal with one little speech and when you ask for some background information you won’t get any replies. And that’s strange. Maybe it’s done to give people the impression there’s nothing unusual about the club. Indeed, looking at the speeches there certainly isn’t. All they do is talk about regular pro-NATO politics and kiss up to their "brothers" on the other side of the ocean.

Two recent examples:

[1] January 2002, Lord Robertson, ’NATO after September 11’ [2] November 2002, Richard Boucher on Foreign policy, the EU, and NATO

You can find other speeches in the references at the bottom of this article. Of course, it’s probably not because of the speeches that the Pilgrims Society keeps itself out of the public eye. More likely it’s because of who’s being informed and for what purpose. Also, it’s obvious that members discuss a lot of other business among themselves.

More in depth

As already stated, those who own or run the major banking houses, law firms, and insurance companies in the London and New York area will be invited to join, together with a few very specific government officials. This always includes the president of the United States, the U.S. Secretary of State and the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain. Below you can see which other delegates traditionally are recruited into Pilgrims. Chancellors, Chief Justices, and Attorney Generals seem to be frequent members also. Occasional exceptions have been made to allow writers, composers and art collectors into the society. An example of that was Mark Twain. The patron of the Pilgrims Society is the king or queen of England and a member from the royal family usually attends the Pilgrim dinners in Great Britain.

That’s basically all there is to this Pilgrims Society; it’s a dining club. Several times a year a dinner is planned and the board chooses which members it will invite this time, usually somewhere between 300 and 500. A few additional people are invited to hold a speech on a variety of political topics and someone is made the guest of honor.

This guest of honor is usually a new member or a Pilgrim who has accomplished something worth remembering. In addition, the chairman of the Society (in Britain it is Robert M. Worcester atm) might give a speech to the CFR or the RIIA once in a while. As already demonstrated, the speeches are both boring and interesting at the same time. Boring because of their substance, and interesting because they show us that Pilgrims, as a whole, aren’t privy to many state secrets.

A great example of the cooperation between the London and American Pilgrims is the London Bush House, which was ordered to be built in 1919 by Pilgrim Irving T. Bush, a N.Y. businessman. At the time it was the most expensive building in the world and was meant to be an Anglo-American trade center where buyers could purchase goods in one place. It lost it’s original function after a couple of decades, but still exists today as an office to the BBC World Service. Above the entrance there’s a large statue, which represents this Anglo-American cooperation. (above image)

Britain is represented on the left by the lions, the USA is represented on the right by the Eagle. The Celtic cross indicates their common heritage. The torch can represent freedom, wisdom, victory, or something along that line. Below the statue you’ll find the inscription "To the friendship of English Speaking Peoples".

The Pilgrims Society is allied with the English-Speaking Union, which is an organization that promotes the use of the English language all over the world. The patron is the English queen and the president is prince Philip. The chairman, as far as we know, is always a member of the Pilgrims.

The institutions the Pilgrims control

All the important members of the 1910 Jekyll Island meeting were Pilgrims; Vanderlip, Strong, Warburg, Davison, Norton, and Aldrich. Senator Aldrich’s closest ally in congress, Edward B. Vreeland, was a Pilgrim too, together with his brother. Vreeland helped Aldrich establish a privately owned central bank. Of course, J.P. Morgan, George F. Baker, John D. Rockefeller, and Jacob Schiff were members also. Keep in mind these people were often competing with each other and weren’t necessarily friends, as so many (conspiracy-oriented) people seem to think.

Pilgrim-presidents of the New York Federal Reserve Bank cover the period from 1914 to 1979. The 4 presidents since then have not been members as far as we know, although that’s probably because of a lack of recent data. Pilgrim-chairmen of the New York Federal Reserve cover almost the entire period from the 1920s up to 1990, so we can safely assume that the New York Federal Reserve Bank is owned by the Pilgrims. That’s not that unusual, because New York itself is Pilgrims property.

Because the Pilgrims have a large influence on Washington politics, it would be interesting to see if they have any members on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, also located in D.C. If we have those names, we can estimate the Pilgrims’ level of control over the Federal Open Market Committee. The FOMC is the main body of the Federal Reserve that decides on the monetary policy. The New York FED then carries out those directives through it’s daily ’open market operations’.

In the words of the official Federal Reserve website that I just gave a link to:

"Finally, the Committee [FOMC] must reach a consensus regarding the appropriate course for policy, which is incorporated in a directive to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York—the Bank that executes transactions for the System Open Market Account. The directive is cast in terms designed to provide guidance to the Manager in the conduct of day-to-day open market operations. The directive sets forth the Committee’s objectives for long-run growth of certain key monetary and credit aggregates. It also sets forth operating guidelines for the degree of ease or restraint to be sought in reserve conditions and expectations with regard to short-term rates of growth in the monetary aggregates."

The FOMC consists of the 7 FED governors, 1 permanent New York FED president, and 4 presidents of the other 11 FED banks that rotate each year. The chairman of the board of governors is also the chairman of the FOMC, and the president of the permanently represented New York FED is the vice chairman of the FOMC.

We quote from the same page:

"...Traditionally, the Chairman of the Board of Governors is elected Chairman and the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is elected Vice Chairman..."

When sifting through the members list, it turns out that at least 4 of the 13 Federal Reserve chairmen are confirmed Pilgrims (they cover the years 1933-1934 & 1959-1987). Two other chairmen, Eugene Meyer and Alan Greenspan, have all the trademarks of being Pilgrims members. If that could be confirmed, the FED’s Board of Governors has had Pilgrims as chairman from at least 1930 to 1934 & from 1959 on to 2005. In any case, the Pilgrims Society seems to be represented a disproportionate amount on the most influential places inside the U.S. monetary system, especially for a society that doesn’t want it’s existence to be known to the general public. It is likely that at least since 1959 the chairman and vice chairman of the FOMC were Pilgrims, together with the persons carrying out the directives of the FOMC through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

After analyzing the Pilgrims Society members list of about 360 names (updated in the meantime), I found that the institutions you see on the left were the most often represented. About 75% of this list is American and 25% British (rough estimate). This means that about 1 in 3 of the U.S. members of the Pilgrims Society is a confirmed member of the CFR. Striking is the fact that such a large percentage of CFR members are executive officers. About 50% of all the CFR executive officers have been confirmed members of the Pilgrims Society, which seems to indicate that quite possibly all of them are.

I remember looking at an old documentary about the CFR "master conspiracy". The usual stuff came by; banking, the Illuminati and the dollar bill. At the end they showed these concentric rings, indicating the CFR had unknown inner circles. Guess we can now say for sure what the second circle is, counting from the outside. It’s the Pilgrims Society and it undeniably shows the close link between American and British foreign policy.

Of course, it has long been speculated that the same group that set up the RIIA, set up the CFR, but I was never convinced enough though, because the group connecting both organizations has never been fully identified. The existence of the Round Table, however likely, has never been proven. For now, the Pilgrims Society, a seemingly larger body, is a fine substitute, because it shares many similarities with the "association of helpers" from the Round Table. Read this text from the 1966 book ’Tragedy and Hope - A history of the world in our time’, written by Oxford professor Carroll Quigley:"In 1891, Rhodes organized a secret society with members in a "Circle of Initiates" and an outer circle known as the "Association of Helpers" later organized as the Round Table organization. In 1909-1913, they organized semi-secret groups know as Round Table Groups in the chief British dependencies and the United States..

The Round Table Groups were semi-secret discussion and lobbying groups whose original purpose was to federate the English speaking world along lines laid down by Cecil Rhodes. By 1915, Round Table groups existed in seven countries including England, South Africa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and the United States.

Money for their activities originally came from Cecil Rhodes, J.P. Morgan, the Rockefeller and Whitney families and associates of bankers Lazard Brothers and Morgan, Grenfell and Company.

The chief backbone of this organization grew up along the already existing financial cooperation running from the Morgan Bank in New York to a group of international financiers in London led by Lazard Brothers.

Lionel Curtis established in England and each dominion a front organization to the existing local Round Table Group. This front organization called the Royal Institute of Public Affairs, had as its nucleus in each area the existing submerged Round Table Group.

In New York, it was known as the Council on Foreign Relations and was a front for J.P. Morgan and Company in association with the very small American Round Table Group. The American organizers were dominated by the large number of Morgan "experts" including Lamont and Beer, who had gone to the Paris Peace Conference and there became close friends with the similar group of English "experts" which had been recruited by the Milner group. In fact, the original plans for the Royal Institute and the Council on Foreign Relations. In 1928, the Council on Foreign Relations was dominated by the associates of the Morgan bank. Closely allied with this Morgan influence were a small group of Wall Street lawyers whose chief figures were Elihu Root, John W. Davis, the Dulles Brothers, John J. McCloy...

...There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates to some extent in the way the Radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so...

...It might be pointed out that the existence of this Wall Street Anglo-American axis is quite obvious once it is pointed out. It is reflected by the fact that such Wall Street luminaries such as John W. Davis, Lewis Douglas, [John] Whitney and Douglas Dillon were appointed to be American ambassadors in London."

If we forget about the other groups, the description of the U.S. and U.K. Round Table Groups as submerged nucleuses of respectively the CFR and the RIIA is the perfect description of the Pilgrims Society. Also, the only name of a person in the quote above, that is not represented in my incomplete Pilgrims members list, is Lionel Curtis. All the other names are confirmed Pilgrims. And what is said here about the large number of Morgan representatives is something I also immediately noticed when I was filling in all the biographies. Even though Rockefeller interests, especially in later times, were just as dominant, the history of the Morgan family really shows their ties to England through George Peabody and Junius S. Morgan. At the turn of the century, the Morgans wielded enormous power over the United States economy.

Besides the organizations I put in the table above, you will also find that institutions like the Atlantic Institute for International Affairs, Bilderberg, the Bohemian Grove, the Trilateral Commission, the Brookings Institution, the Ford Foundation, the Ditchley Foundations, the Fabian Society, the Japan Society, the Asia Society, the American-Australian Association, and some others, are quite frequently represented. I didn’t specifically look for these institutions though, simply because it takes me too much time. Often, these institutes aren’t mentioned in the bios of the person you’re researching.

The reason that you find quite a few Skull & Bones members (or members who have family in Skull & bones) in the Pilgrims Society is probably because Yale is a prestigious University and a first choice for many law and MBA students. It’s also located very close to New York. Don’t kid yourself however, 20 year old boys don’t rule anything. You’ll also find at least 5 Scroll & Key members and many more Yale students who haven’t been into any society. But as far as I can see, the Pilgrims Society is open to anyone who learns enough, works enough, and winds up in the right place for a Pilgrims invitation. Harvard and Columbia are other common universities where Pilgrims have studied.

Involvement of the Pilgrims over the last 100 years

• 1906 - Pilgrims are involved in the secret Algeciras Conference to settle a dispute among the British, Germans, and French about the division of Morocco.

• 1913 - The earlier mentioned establishment of the Federal Reserve and of course the 1910 Jekyll Island meeting that preceded it.

• 1917 - Some Pilgrims are said to have been financing the Communist revolution of 1917. Most is known about the partners of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.; Pilgrims Jacob Schiff, Paul Warburg and Otto Kahn.

• 1919 - Many Pilgrims played an important role in the Versailles peace conferences following WWI. In all the history books I’ve seen, only the discussions of the ’big three’, Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George and Georges Clemenceau, are emphasized. I’m still looking for all the names involved, but I’ve already seen quite a few Pilgrims and suspected Pilgrims. In any case, Robert Cecil, chairman of the Supreme Economic Council of the Versailles Peace Treaty was a member. In the same year, he was the chairman of the committee that established the Royal Institute of International Affairs.

• 1924 - After the German economy was completely taken apart and they couldn’t pay their imposed debts anymore, the Reparations Commission Committee of Experts was set up. President Coolidge appointed Pilgrim Charles G. Dawes as chairman. The committee comes up with the so called ’Dawes-plan’.

• 1927 - It is said that Pilgrim Benjamin Strong (head FED) and Pilgrim Montagu Norman (head Bank of England) had at least one secret meeting in July of this year with their friend Hjalmar Schacht of the German Reichsbank.

• 1930 - The Young plan, which is named after committee chairman and Pilgrim Owen D. Young, is introduced as a follow up of the Pilgrims concocted Dawes plan, because Germany still can’t pay their debts. Hjalmar Schacht doesn’t agree with the reparations and quits as the head of the German Reichsbank. The same year Schacht becomes a Fascist, starts bringing all the German industrialists together and becomes the most crucial person for bringing Hitler to power in 1933.

• 1933 and on - J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller associates are financing Nazi Germany. Pilgrims Watson and Watson Jr. of IBM were also involved. Pilgrim Averell Harriman was involved. Ford was involved, and looking at the prominent presence of the Ford Foundation in the Pilgrims Society, he was probably a member also.

• 1934 - Because general Smedley Butler exposes the planned coup, FDR is not thrown over and replaced by a fascist government. The persons financing various fascist elements turn out to be the Pilgrims Morgan jr., the du Ponts, Louis S. Cates through Phelps-Dodge company, and undoubtedly many other, but unconfirmed, Pilgrims.

• 1945 - Nazis, Knights of Malta (SMOM), and elements in the OSS create the so called ’Vatican rat lines’, through which thousands of Nazis are smuggled into Spain, South-Africa, and South-America. Pilgrim and SMOM member Allen Dulles played a large role in this project. He also plays a crucial role in releasing and recruiting Nazi intelligence chief Reinhard Gehlen (Le Cercle) so this person can establish the Gehlen Organization. This Gehlen Org becomes the eyes and ears of the CIA in eastern Europe. Reinhard recruits many serious nazis in his organization.

• 1946 - Pilgrim Francis Beverly Biddle was one of the four primary judges at the Nuremberg trials representing the United States. I’ll bet the British judge (and president) of the trials was a member of the British Pilgrims.

• 1947 - Pilgrims Society member, five-star general and U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall introduces his European Recovery Program (ERP).

• Around 1948 - Pilgrim John J. McCloy oversees the release of Fritz Thyssen, Hjalmar Schacht, Friedrich Flick and Alfred Krupp. They are the main industrialists who built up the Nazi war machine and are close associates of different Pilgrims Society members.

• 1949 - Pilgrims member and ambassador Lewis Williams Douglas had a daughter, Sharman Douglas, who, according to a very sure ITV (competitor of the BBC), had a 2-year lesbian affair with Queen Elizabeth II’s younger sister, Princess Margaret Windsor. Sharman also married Andrew Hay of the Pilgrims. (Normally I wouldn’t dive into tabloid topics, but this is just too funny to pass over)

• 1951 - General Douglas MacArthur, who has just driven back the North-Koreans, is removed from his command when he doesn’t accept the decision from the US government to not attack the Chinese forces. Pilgrims Harry Truman, Dean Acheson and George C. Marshall are his main adversaries on this issue. MacArthur is replaced by Pilgrim Matthew B. Ridgway. Senator McCarthy attacks Truman, Acheson and Marshall for being in the communist camp.

• 1954 - Some of the earliest invites to the Bilderberg conference are Pilgrims Society members; David Rockefeller, George Ball, and Henry Heinz.

• 1961 - Howard Hughes, owner of Trans World Airlines, is charging Pilgrim Charles C. Tillinghast, Jr., the president of his company, with conspiring with others to take over the ownership the company.

• 1963 - Pilgrims John J. McCloy and Allen Dulles are members of the Warren Commission. Gerald Ford, a future honorary Pilgrim, is a third member.

• 1965-1973 - During the Vietnam war, Pilgrim Henry Kissinger is the chief US negotiator for the communist regimes. At the same time, Kissinger and many of his Pilgrims Society buddies were investing massive amounts of capital into the Soviet Union, even though this country continued to supply about 50% of North-Vietnams military arms. Of course, these were allowed to enter North-Vietnam almost unobstructed, because the US government was afraid for an escalation of the conflict if Haiphong harbor was closed off and bombed into oblivion. Pilgrims Society members controlled at least some of the institutions that had to check the goods that were imported into the USSR.

• 1973 - Pilgrim Edward W. Simon was chairman of the President’s Oil Policy Committee from February to December of 1973 (oil crisis started in October in the midst of the Yom Kippur war). He also was an administrator of the Federal Energy Office since December 1973 and was charged with the responsibility of minimizing the effects of the energy crisis and preventing future crises (decided the oil prices and the distribution). Together with Pilgrim Henry Kissinger he was the most important speaker of the 1974 International Energy Conference. In 1973, Henry Kissinger first informed the Pilgrims about the creation of an "International Energy group", which became the International Energy Agency.

• 1975 - Pilgrim Nelson Rockefeller heads the ’ U.S. President’s Commission on CIA activities within the United States’. It was created in response to a December 1974 report in The New York Times that the CIA had conducted illegal domestic activities, including experiments on U.S. citizens, during the 1960s. The commission was, among other things, responsible for the investigation and publication of Project MKULTRA, a CIA mind control study.

• 1992 - Pilgrim Lord Bingham of Cornhill heads an inquiry into the Bank of England to find out their responsibility in the BCCI drug laundering scandal. Turns out the Bank of England was just a bit lazy, but didn’t do anything on purpose. The persons that owned the BCCI were mainly 1001 Club members; Agha Hasan Abedi, Salem Bin Laden, and Kalid bin Mahfouz, possibly more. Lord Bingham became a member of the very elite Order of Garter in 2005. Some other persons involved with the BCCI scandal were members of the secret international intelligence group Le Cercle.

• 2001 - Henry Kissinger, who was picked as the first chairman of the 9/11 commission, was a Pilgrim. The old vice-chairman of the 9/11 Commission, George John Mitchell, became a director of the CFR in 1995, so chances are very substantial he’s a Pilgrim too. The new chairman, Thomas H. Kean, is from a very prominent New Jersey family and has been a chairman of the Carnegie Foundation, so don’t be surprised if it turns out that he also attends Pilgrims dinners (or 1001 Club meetings in his case). More rumors concerning 9/11 and likely Pilgrims exist, but as plausible as some of them sound, I won’t go into them, simply because I don’t trust the researchers this information came from.

• 2004 - Pilgrims Society member Lord Peter Inge is part of a five-member panel that looks into the gathered intelligence that was used to justify an invasion in Iraq the year before. All 5 are Privy Councillors and just as the panel’s chairman, Lord Inge is a knight of the Order of the Garter.

* As you can see, when we move into the eighties and nineties, information on the Pilgrims becomes quite scarce.

Conclusion

It is obvious that the Pilgrims Society has a very interesting history and that it’s membership consists of very influential people. Above all, it seems that the Pilgrims Society represents that old dream of Cecil Rhodes to create a worldwide English-speaking free-trade zone (his exact words), with the dominant position for the Anglo-Saxon race. Rhodes had also been speculating about a network of secret societies that had to absorb the wealth of the world. In fact, the enormous fortune he left behind was probably used to set up the Pilgrims Society just 4 months after he died. But especially these days, ’free-trade’ policies seem to be nothing more than a tool by which western companies wrestle control of foreign markets. This makes it hard to say if their ultimate goal of ’global peace’ really is that noble.

In the course the 20th century, especially after WWII, many organizations with similar objectives have sprung up worldwide. Among them are Bilderberg, the Trilateral Commission, the British Invisibles, the European Round Table, the Group of thirty, the European Institute, the Trans-Atlantic Business Dialogue, the 1001 Club, the EU-Japan Business Dialogue, the Pacific Basin Economic Council, Le Cercle, the Multinational Chairman’s Group, and dozens more.

In every single case, British and American interests are represented more than adequately, at the very least in leadership positions. Even though recent names are in rather short supply it has already become obvious that we can find most, if not all of these leaders back in the Pilgrims Society. This indicates that we are dealing with one of the most important privately funded institutions of the globalist movement. But, like I already said, let’s not exaggerate by saying that we found ’the puppet masters’ or something like that. At any time, there are loads of intelligence operations going on most of the well over a 1000 members know nothing about. Also, looking at the bios, it’s obvious that there is considerable infighting going on and that different members can’t get along with each other at all. So, as for now, I suggest that we focus our energy on gathering as many names as possible. Then the picture will become clear by itself.

A lot of additional information on the Anglo-American establishment and/or the British Empire can be found in the books of professor Carroll Quigley. The articles on Executive Intelligence Review also contain a lot of insightful information.

“The mysterious, super-elite Pilgrim Society.”“The most illustrious world-wide personalities.”“The most distinguished international organization in the world.” “The Pilgrims Society remained hidden until relatively recent years, to identify the apex of power.”(referenced towards end of document)Plundering International Looter$ Gaining Riche$, Injuring Megamillion$ $ecretly = PILGRIMS! If this is your first read on this organization, I suggest you obtain the introductory background first by reading the December 2004 item in the Archives. (For the rest of you, take note---silver and silver mining will be mentioned around 50 times). If you have followed the series to date, I have other disturbing case material with which to inform you. There is a boatload of fascinating material I hope to acquaint you with. And you should be fiercely interested in this Society---the rich families behind central banking---because they are interested in you, to your great detriment! And they do not wish their identities known; else they’d release a membership list. A movie quote (“They Live” 1988)---“We could be pets, we could be food, but all we really are is livestock!”The Pilgrims could protest, if they chose to, that I class them as a secret society. Actually they don’t meet the criteria for that definition by every measure that exists. No elitist organization appears to meet that standard, but these things are a matter of relative basis. When not one person in 10,000 has ever heard of an organization that dominates their destiny, it’s secret. The Pilgrims do fulfill the definition of secret society by the most important test which is, as I say, they refuse to release a roster. Some will say, why should a private organization have to release a membership list? Do we demand the local Rotary Club or Lions Club to release members’ names? The difference is one of degree. Since we’ve already seen that the President, Secretary of State, and Ambassador to Great Britain are always “honorary” members; and that this fact fails to appear in any known textbook on government or political science---this is sufficient to need to know who all the members are. These are far from ordinary people. They are those who can and do powerfully influence events at the highest levels.Exactly with which globalist financiers, warmongers and international cartelists do our highest officials run with? Additionally, I have noted that over the decades, numerous Ambassadors to many different nations have been members; also Generals; Admirals; Senators; Congressmen; Treasury Secretaries; Federal Reserve officials and so forth. Since these men are in control (presently) of our national destiny, it is urgently necessary to know who they all are. As a few examples, if a list were accessed, names likely to be encountered would include representatives of the traditional big rich---Rockefeller; Mellon; Du Pont; Whitney; Vanderbilt; Harriman; Pyne; Pitcairn; Pew; Phipps; Pratt; Harkness; Aldrich; Weyerhaeuser; Duke; Reynolds; Cullman; Dorrance; Schiff; Folger; Field; Fisher; Flagler; Roosevelt; Guggenheim; Gould; McCormick; Berwind; Lehman; Stillman; Baker; Livingston; and others. Top executives and directors of Citigroup; JPMorganChase; BankAmerica; Bank of New York; Wells Fargo; Mellon Bank; American Express; Merrill Lynch; Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (oversees electronic exchange of shares); Goldman Sachs; Morgan Stanley; Lehman Brothers; Prudential Financial; Aetna; New York Life; IBM; Exxon Mobil; Chevron Texaco; Conoco Phillips; Schlumberger; Halliburton; Duke Energy; El Paso Corporation; Bechtel Corporation; Alcoa; Newmont Mining; Phelps-Dodge; Microsoft; General Electric; General Motors; Ford; Goodyear; Du Pont; Dow Chemical; Eastman Kodak; Union Pacific; Wal-Mart; Coca-Cola; Philip Morris; Procter & Gamble; Unilever Bestfoods; Berkshire Hathaway; Washington Post; New York Times; Tribune Company; Time Warner; Verizon Communications; Johnson & Johnson; Pfizer; Eli Lilly; Warner Lambert; Merck & Company; Bristol Myers Squibb; Astra Zeneca; Schering Plough; Glaxo Smith Kline; Pharmacia & Upjohn; United Technologies; Raytheon; Lockheed Martin; Boise Cascade; International Paper; Federal Reserve; Treasury Department; World Bank and very many others would be found represented in The Pilgrims.We already know where they are taking us---towards world government in a reunion with Great Britain, using the United Nations as a facade. The world’s most powerful organization is Anglo-American---or British-American, with key European participation via intermarriages. According to “Skolnick’s Report” at www.skolnicksreport.com/greenbribe.html the Bush family is heavily involved in global narcotics trafficking in connection with the British Crown and its “older and wiser” status, and mentions Pilgrim Investments as the Bush conduit and even mentions The Pilgrim Society but doesn’t go into much detail. At least word is getting around. Our mission should be to pull their collective pants down, expose them and their revolting plans, and put them out of business. Speaking of Mr. Bush, fellow Pilgrim Society member William Stamps Farish III quoted him as saying, “America has no truer friend than Great Britain” (apparently he didn’t watch Mel Gibson’s film “The Patriot”) see www.usembassy.org.uk/ukamb/farish8.html for the content. In this view he would not have been supported by President Jackson! Farish gave Bush’s campaign $107,000 for which favor he was appointed Ambassador to Great Britain. It seems Farish wanted the post badly because he already hosted Queen Elizabeth II four times in Lexington, Kentucky, allegedly in connection with the sport of thoroughbred horse racing (Farish was chairman of Churchill Downs and owns many racehorses and farms). Maybe she wanted an update on what the Crown’s Pilgrim Society network was doing to impoverish the middle class here en route to the return to medieval feudalism. Farish and the Bush family participated together in the Zapata Offshore Drilling Company. His grandfather founded Humble Oil & Refining Company in 1917, which became the largest subsidiary of what became Exxon, and was a founder of the American Petroleum Institute in 1926. He is a member of the Council of American Ambassadors, another focal point for the Society’s control over our foreign relations (5 members identified so far as directors) Farish III, probably a billionaire--

To return to the U.N.---it wasn’t only the United States and its elitists who created the U.N.; the British and some Europeans also played a role. It was located in the United States probably because if our sovereignty can be weakened, the other nations will follow. In May 1979 I attended a speech at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, given by Sir Ivor Seward Richard (born 1932), then British Ambassador to the United Nations and head of the Security Council. Currently, the main elitist at TCU as a trustee appears to be Winthrop Rockefeller Jr., (Pilgrims?) whose father as Arkansas Governor pardoned all the killers on the state’s death row. President George Bush the First made Junior chairman of the President’s Council on Rural America. Who the deep plant at TCU was in 1979 was probably a lesser figure. The university official who introduced Sir Ivor was ecstatic and fawned simperingly over that British Tory Redcoat until I thought he’d ask the audience to genuflect to him. The official pointed out about Sir Ivor being a member of the English Speaking Union and the Fabian Society of Great Britain (a politically radical front). He chaired the Rhodesia Conference in 1976. I waited for the announcer to state about Sir Ivor being a member of The Pilgrim Society. That announcement never came. Next I waited for the Britisher to mention his membership in The Pilgrims and to tell the audience anything about the Society. He made no such utterance. Below, note the emblem of the Fabian Society of Great Britain, that of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, in a combative posture---

I came equipped with a tape recorder and sat on the front row. Try as I might, I could not get selected to ask a question of the distinguished man. Probably because I had a large tape recorder, and also because I was wearing a T-shirt featuring a blown-up Pilgrim Society emblem (see first essay in this series); although its details might not have been discernable past 15 feet. After the question session was adjourned, we were informed that a basement reception was to take place. Sir Ivor saw me working my way towards him several times, and the first time he noticed my shirt with the emblem, he went all white. All this time I had the recorder running. Finally in frustration I maneuvered myself in front of him in such a way that he would have had to run straight into me to pass by. As we were inches apart I asked him “How do you like my shirt?” I am not a person who claims mind reading ability. But often you gather the mood of the other individual by the facial expression---he was frantic. I was not supposed to have that emblem, or to know he was a member! HOW did this person know of the Society, and his membership in it, he must have wondered! He took advantage of a gap in the crowd and swiftly rotated away from me, where he was mobbed by autograph requests. I wouldn’t have cared about that. I would have asked for a 1979 list for both branches, updating the then 10-year-old lists I had the rare luck to come by. He would have given me current lists, like he would have given me his eyeballs. Quite dignified as far as everyone else present understood, I recognized him as the cellblock looking creep he was.During his speech he mentioned to us about his maternal grandfather William H. Seward, who as Secretary of States of these United States, made the Alaska Purchase from Russia for $7 million, consummated on March 30, 1867. “We’re mostly family in The Pilgrim Society!” William Seward (below)--

His son William Henry (born 1839) was a Colonel in the Union Army and was listed as head of “banking firm of William H. Seward & Co.” starting in 1860 (Who Was Who, 1897-1942, page 1106), which page also showed the Sewards married into the Frelinghuysen family (old Dutch colonial land fortune, later holding sugar interests and Congressional representation.) Was he out fighting, or sitting behind the lines banking? According to www.members.tripod.com/~american_almanac/prometh1.htm“President Lincoln had been murdered at the war’s end, and Secretary of State Seward was no longer under Lincoln’s restraining hand. Seward now worked for a British-allied New York and Boston political faction representing all Lincoln fought against. Mexican Ambassador Romero suspected treachery from Seward and had worked directly with Lincoln during the war.”Romero couldn’t have liked Seward’s British connections, as the British were long against silver money, and Romero wrote a pro-silver article, “The Silver Standard In Mexico” in the North American Review, June 1895 (in which he mentioned the Bank of London and Mexico). The 1969 list for New York had a John Wesley Seward, an attorney (Sir Ivor was a “barrister,” the British version of that term). John was a director of the Diaz Corporation, which may be linked to Mexico. We had another Pilgrim Society member linked to funding revolutionary activity in Mexico earlier (read about the dangerous Mr. Pierce later). Another Seward, George (born 1910---a member---I do not know), was a director of Howmet Corporation (titanium and part of the Mellon holdings) when its chairman was Pilgrim Society member Eugene Robert Black, ex president of the World Bank, and director of numerous corporations including Royal Dutch Petroleum; Scandinavian Securities; Chase Manhattan Bank; Warner Communications; American Express; New York Times; Cummins Engine and others. Black was chairman of Brookings Institution, an anti-silver organization in Washington, D.C. George Seward was a trustee of the Edwin Gould Foundation, named after charter Pilgrim Society member Edwin Gould, son of gold and railroad manipulator Jay Gould. George Seward, a member of the Raven Society of the University of Virginia, was on the legal advisory committee to the New York Stock Exchange, 1984-1987. He founded the International Capital Markets Group of the International Federation of Accountants and was a member of the Bohemian Club (San Francisco), which the Queen has visited. As of 1994 George listed his address at Hanover Square, London, headquarters of the International Bar Association. Hanover Square is named after the medieval Hanovers of Germany, whose wealthy royal lineage traces into The Pilgrims of Great Britain and was part of the name of a major United States bank---Manufacturers Hanover Trust, headed notably by Pilgrim Society member Gabriel Hauge, who sat on the Bilderberg steering committee.Another Seward, possibly George’s grandfather, George Frederick Seward (born 1840) was American minister to China 1876-1880, and in 1893 became president of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain. He had residences in New York and New Jersey, yet was appointed to head a British Empire organization, another example of “transatlantic cooperation” of American and British elites. William Seward Pierson (Skull & Bones Society of Yale, 1836) may have been another relation. G. William Domhoff authored “The Higher Circles---The Governing Class in America” (1970) and “The Bohemian Grove---A Study in Ruling Class Cohesiveness” (1974). He mentions Bilderberg and the Council on Foreign Relations in both books. In the first one the index contains some 82 names identified as Pilgrim Society members, and at least 17 in the second; nowhere does he mention the organization. Probably he had no knowledge of it. Chapter three of his 1974 book is entitled, “Do Bohemians Rule America?” The answer is yes---in the same sense as the Skull & Bones Society, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the Rhodes Scholars. They are all very important, yet mere fronts for the super-elite Pilgrim Society, back of which there appears to be no controlling group! SEIZING THE WEALTH NECESSARY!We’ve seen how Pilgrim Society members such as William Simon were involved in crushing the Dallas Hunt brothers in 1980, and Howard Hughes in the early 1960’s. A key player in that event was “superstar banker” Frederic H. Brandi of The Pilgrims, Dillon Read & Company and American South African gold trust (ASA Ltd.—why bother listing all the other boards he sat on?) (Below)---

Floyd Bostwick Odlum (born 1892; The Pilgrims, 1969, information not found anywhere else) was a billionaire, possibly several times over. (The list does not state in which year members were admitted; many are probably admitted by mid-40’s and most by age 50). The 1952 Who’s Who, page 1832, had Odlum in the Piping Rock Club; the New York Yacht Club; and the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club and the Metropolitan---high powered clubs interlocked with The Pilgrims and with most significant “globalist” societies. Ferdinand Lundberg in “America’s 60 Families” (1937) page 32 said---“The only noteworthy postwar fortune belongs to Floyd B. Odlum, a Morgan corporation executive formerly with the Electric Bond & Share Company. Odlum formed the Atlas Corporation, an investment trust, on the basis of a $40,000 investment in 1924. This enterprise now participates in nearly every industry, having acquired its equities at extreme depression lows. The New York Times of April 23, 1933, reported that Atlas Corporation then owned assets aggregating $100,000,000. Atlas assets are valued now at more than double this sum; the corporation is probably the biggest investment trust in the world. Odlum has been designated, with some truth, the sole newcomer to win in the great postwar boom and collapse.”Odlum went short stocks before the October 1929 crash. At what point his worth surpassed $1 billion, I haven’t determined, but several sources (www.nf104.com) called him a billionaire. The Globe & Mail, October 12, 2002, had a feature, “Billionaire Stock Tycoon Floyd Odlum.” Odlum was a heavy holder of RCA (Radio Corporation of America) and General Dynamics stock (www.collectspace.com) His Atlas Corporation purchased Paramount Pictures in 1933 at “basement” prices. Odlum was also chairman of RKO Studios, another filmmaker. Atlas Corporation was once known as Atlas Utilities & Investors Company. Odlum was also a heavy owner, through his Atlas Corporation, of Greyhound Bus Lines; Northeast Airlines (nearly 90%); Bonwit Teller (department stores); Convair Aviation; United Fruit Company; and Madison Square Garden. Odlum was “widely reputed to be one of the 10 richest men in the world” (www.nationmaster.com). He also was dominant in Barnsdall Oil Company. History News Network, May 9, 2004, said of him---“A powerful financial wizard and industrialist, personally convinced Ike to seek the office. The Odlum papers are at the Eisenhower Library.”Odlum was already personally involved with the office of the President. On October 20, 1948, he met with President Truman (Truman Library reference). American National Biography, published under the aegis of the American Council of Learned Societies, 1999 edition, volume 16, page 623 said of Odlum---“He built the Atlas Corporation into one of the world’s greatest investment corporations, controlling many companies in a vast array of industries.”Time Magazine, September 12, 1942, said Odlum “buys everything for 50 cents on the dollar.” In 1954 he bought the nation’s biggest uranium deposit in Utah---the Hidden Splendor mine. Odlum was also the dominant shareholder in Standard Uranium. John A. Roosevelt, son of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, became an officer and director of Standard Uranium. John Roosevelt turned up on page 2820 of the 1981 Who’s Who as a member of The Pilgrims and joined Bache Group in 1957, where he was a director till 1981. Bache Group was founded by Jules S. Bache of The Pilgrims, president and treasurer of Dome Mines (now Placer Dome)---Who’s Who, 1928, page 203. Bache held interests in chemicals; liquor; land; banking; railroads; insurance; copper mines; oil; agriculture; and Chrysler Corporation. Bache Group played a role in flushing the Hunt brothers down the COMEX silver drain! Roosevelt was a trustee of Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship Foundation, whose scholars favor weakening American national sovereignty; a director of the Boy Scouts of America (thoroughly infiltrated); and trustee, State University of New York and Roosevelt College, Chicago.The Atomic Energy Commission was buying uranium from Odlum, especially in the early 1950’s, that, in addition to his huge aviation interests, is why he insinuated himself into confidentiality with several Presidents. The 1952 Who’s Who, page 1888, shows Pilgrim Society member Richard Cunningham Patterson Jr. (born 1886) as a director of Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation, of which Odlum was chairman (later Convair). Patterson was a “day laborer” in the South Dakota gold mines, 1905-1907. In 1920 he became assistant to the president of J.G. White Engineering Corporation. J.G. White was listed in the 2002 Pilgrims of Great Britain book (page 185) as a charter member in New York in 1903. In 1921-1922 Patterson was with the Du Pont chemical conglomerate (Pilgrim Society, and big silver users). In 1932-1936 he was a director of National Broadcasting Company, owned by RCA and became assistant Secretary of Commerce, 1938-1939, where he was associated with the Export-Import Bank of the U.S., a device for looting the taxpayers. In 1939-1943 he was installed as chairman of Odlum’s RKO Corporation, and became Ambassador to Yugoslavia, 1944-1947; to Guatemala, 1948-1951; then Ambassador to Switzerland. He was an administrative officer with the American Commission to Negotiate the Peace, in 1919, whose role was to insure that Germany would be so galled by the terms of surrender that they’d attack Europe as soon as the next generation reached soldier age.Patterson, one of Odlum’s key associates, was also a director of the China-America Council of Commerce & Industry. Odlum was a trustee of the Army & Air Force Aid Society and the American Institute for Foreign Trade and as of 1952, was a past president of the important American Arbitration Association. As of 1953 he was chairman of the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation, long associated with pharmaceutical interests gouging the public. Odlum’s wife, Jacqueline Cochran Odlum (deceased 1980) held more aviation records than any other pilot---men included--- in history. She flew a bomber to England in 1941 and became flight captain in the British Air Transport auxiliary, training pilots. On return to the United States she organized the WASPS---Women’s Air Force Service Pilots. She was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal in 1945 and became a lieutenant colonel in the USAF Reserves in 1948. She was the first woman to break the sound barrier, in 1953; and flew twice the speed of sound on June 3, 1964. In 1961 she achieved an altitude record of 55,253 feet in an F-104G Starfighter and was the first woman to make a “blind” landing.Let’s take a hard look at what this Pilgrim Society member, Floyd Odlum, did, working with another Pilgrim Society member, Stuart Symington, to “seize the wealth necessary.” Symington was chairman of Emerson Electric Manufacturing Company, St. Louis, 1938-1945. In 1945-1946 he was Surplus Property Administrator in Washington, D.C., disposing of unused war materials, probably at give-away prices, to his Pilgrim Society network. From 1947 through 1950 Symington was Secretary of the Air Force. In 1950 he became chairman of the National Security Resources Board, which was suggestive of more recent Presidential Executive Orders authorizing the “seizure” of commodities in wartime. Symington was a personal friend of Floyd and Jacqueline Odlum and entertained them in his Air Force administrative office. Jack Northrop of Northrop Aviation was in competition with Convair Aviation---controlled by Odlum---for defense contracting business. Below, Pilgrim Society member Stuart Symington (who became a Senator from Missouri in 1952) and his son James became a Congressman from Missouri. In 1962 through 1965 James was administrative assistant to the Attorney General of the United States. Before that he was assistant to the United States Ambassador to Great Britain, John Hay Whitney, who turned up by 1973 as a vice president of The Pilgrims of the United States

Odlum wanted to buy out Northrop on terms favorable to himself and bad for Northrop, so Northrop declined. After that, the pressure mounted from Washington against Northrop. In 1952 Jack Northrop sold out all his Northrop shares and left the business. Symington, while Secretary of the Air Force, cancelled Northrop’s B-49 Bomber project. General Curtis LeMay, General George Kenney and General Henry Arnold testified in favor of backing up Symington’s decision. Kenney, Knight Commander, Order of the British Empire, sided against Northrop, due to Odlum being a member of an interlocking British Empire organization---The Pilgrims! Who’s Who, 1966, page 1135, has Kenney stating he was president of the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation since 1951 (of which Odlum was chairman!!) LeMay was at that time, Air Force Chief of Staff and a personal friend of Jacqueline Cochran! By the 1970’s LeMay was a trustee of the National Geographic Society, another Pilgrim Society run organization like the Smithsonian Institution. In 1980 Northrop broke silence and said Symington cancelled the deal because Northrop refused to merge with Convair, because Convair (Odlum) attempted to put too harsh a deal with Northrop. Get this---as part of the cancellation order, Secretary Symington ordered seven of the Northrop B-49’s destroyed!Concerning the B-36 hearings after that contract cancellation---Northrop admitted by 1980 (coincidentally, about when Odlum’s wife passed on) that he (Northrop) lied under oath to Congress, because he was fearful that Symington might “totally destroy” his company in retaliation for his refusal of Odlum’s merger terms! There were rumors in the press at that time that Symington was to be installed by Odlum as head of Convair after the takeover of Northrop! Louis A. Johnson, Secretary of Defense, later alleged that Symington conspired with Odlum to switch Air Force contracts. For documentation supporting these charges, refer to the House Committee on Armed Services investigation of the bomber program, 81st session of Congress, 1949, page 13; “American Combat Planes” (1982) by Ray Wagner (Doubleday & Company); “Northrop Flying Wings” (1988) by Edward Maloney (World War II Publications); “Truman” by David McCullough (Simon & Schuster, 1992); “Northrop’s Big Wing” by David Baker (Air International, June 1993); “B-2 Intrigue” by Graham Stallard (Air International, August 1993, page 117); and “Big Bomb” (Air International, November 1993, page 285).This is what happens when Pilgrim Society members conspire to ruin other rich men. None of the above reference sources mention anything concerning Odlum and Symington both being members of The Pilgrims. Undoubtedly, not one of them knew anything about it; so monumental is the wall of silence! In 1961 Odlum became chairman of Federal Resources Corporation and the 1966 Who’s Who, page 1592 listed him as chairman of the Lovelace Foundation for Medical Education & Research at Albuquerque, New Mexico. According to page 57 of that edition, Robert Orville Anderson was vice chairman of the Lovelace Foundation. Anderson was also listed at that time as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and director of Atlantic Refining Company, whose major stockholder was Pilgrim Society member David Rockefeller. Odlum, who was also president of the Hertz Foundation for Science Fellowships, was awarded the Presidential Certificate of Merit. Many Pilgrim Society members have been closely involved with United States Presidents, including billionaire Walter Annenberg of TV Guide, with Nixon and Reagan. Take note---none of these Pilgrim Society members---Odlum; Annenberg; Patterson; and Symington---were Yale graduates, so we know they weren’t members of Skull & Bones. Yet consider the huge power they exercised! Will someone allege billionaires cannot be powerful, unless they belong to Skull & Bones? Come on with that Skull & Bones theory already---it’s quite inferior to The Pilgrims. Skull & Bones is a society junior to The Pilgrims, because college age boys are admitted; admittance into The Pilgrims appears to take place almost always after age 40. Again, The Pilgrims is the only elitist Society of which the President is always a member, regardless of which university he came from. Annenberg became Ambassador to Great Britain, 1969-1974, which country set up Skull & Bones as an influence front in America. The Pilgrims encompasses all the key elitist rich men in America, whereas Skull & Bones encompasses only those from Yale. Even at Yale it does not encompass them all---Scroll & Key is also intensely significant; Wolf’s Head and Book & Snake are significant, Berzelius appears to be the runt of the litter.The case of Odlum and Symington and their collusion to wipe out a man who wouldn’t sell out at a lowball price is a glimmer---or a mirror---to indicate also that The Pilgrim Society watches---observes---and waits---to behold any entrepreneurs who build a very successful company and then, either get taken over, squeezed out, or invited to become part of the Network. And if the offer to affiliate with the Network is declined, that rising company will come under fire and be brought down, most likely by the machinery of the legal system. No wonder some Supreme Court justices have been members or in their orbit, and United States Attorney Generals including George Wickersham and Herbert Brownell---two I recall without checking my files. No wonder the Justice Department won’t investigate the Silver Users Association as to anti-trust issues.A final note on Pilgrim Society member Floyd Odlum. Whereas he was obviously a fanatic devotee of his own financial interests, he was actively hostile to silver mining interests. Probably for two reasons---industrial users like to steal silver cheaply, and because Odlum had Federal Reserve connections, as we just saw. Paper money creators detest silver! From 1940 through 1944 Odlum was a “special advisor” to the Office of Price Administration, which placed a Federal price cap on both domestic and imported silver! (See “War And Silver,” Archives). You can be certain while Odlum was selling uranium to the Atomic Energy Commission he didn’t want any Federal price cap placed on THAT! Laws and regulations are crafted to harm those outside The Pilgrim Society’s charmed circle of ultra-high finance. That’s why they always have key representation in the Senate and House; high-powered Wall Street attorneys are members; an occasional Supreme Court justice; and more frequently, the Attorney General of the U.S. Justice Department! The Atlas Missile program was named after Odlum’s Atlas Corporation, the contractor, which was used in the Apollo missions to send astronauts to the moon. Another item on Odlum---his Atlas Corporation hired Alexander Gumberg after he was deported from Norway for Bolshevik-related activities! Considering the superabundance of evidence pointing to the national and worldwide financial, political, social and educational influence wielded by The Pilgrims, and the lack of indications as to their being a front for any other society, the quote attributed to Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Order of Illuminati, applies to them better than to any other entity---“The Order will thus work silently, and securely; and though the generous benefactors of the human race are thus deprived of the applause of the world, they have the noble pleasure of seeing their work prosper in their hands.”MANY OTHER ULTRA-POWERFUL MEN!Have been and are members of The Pilgrims besides Odlum. Consider Sir Siegmund G. Warburg (Pilgrims of Great Britain list circa 1969). I have to re-emphasize, for the sake of penetrating to the truth of the matter, that Skull & Bones is an outer ring, whereas The Pilgrims is the inner circle; there is nothing back of them; although, even they have an inner core for whom other members are functionaries! No member of The Pilgrims of Great Britain is a member of Skull & Bones, so far as I have found in many long searches. Yet those London Pilgrim Society members are possessed of financial power and influence, which is very nearly off the scale. The Yale societies were set up as influence fronts in the “Colonies” and as adjuncts to the very dirty opium trade. But it is London that is the center of 24-hour international banking time and the world center of central banking, dating to the founding of the Bank of England by Royal charter in 1694. Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma, in favor of silver money, complained about “Great Britain’s managed currency bloc” (Commercial & Financial Chronicle, January 4, 1936, page 37), a reference to its influence network of central banks around the globe, chief of which is the U.S. Federal Reserve. During the tenure of Cornell University graduate, Pilgrim Society member Henry Morgenthau as Treasury Secretary, the “all-seeing eye” with its Egyptian mysticism was placed on the Federal Reserve note--

“Annuit Coeptis” has been widely and totally erroneously said to mean, “He favors our enterprise.” Any Latin dictionary reveals the actual fact---it means “Year of Conception,” that being a reference to the Roman numerals at the base of the pyramid, which add up to 1776. Unfortunately this isn’t a reference to the year 1776 in American history, but to the so-called “Order of Illuminati” said to have been founded in Ingolstadt, Bavaria on May 1, 1776 by a professor Adam Weishaupt. I don’t plan to attempt looking at the twists and turns of a mysterious force back of the stage of history, except to say that organization was no different in basis than The Pilgrims or any other such elitist group today. It is a maze of common roots grown together, linked by flaming ambition the likes of which the average person cannot relate to. The British Empire was already a global force generations before the Bavarian Illuminati.Eustace Mullins in “Secrets of the Federal Reserve” (1983), page 68, had this observation---“No official of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, can command the power over the money of the world which is held by these London merchant bankers. Great Britain, while waning in military power, today exercises the greatest financial power. It is for this reason that London is the financial center of the world.”New Haven, Connecticut, site of Yale University and Skull & Bones Society, is very much a junior operation beside the City of London. Literally trillions in foreign exchange transactions are cleared monthly through the London banking behemoths---Pilgrim Society run institutions such as Barclay’s; National Westminster; HSBC Bank Group; and Standard-Chartered Bank Group. To return to Sir Siegmund--- of the same Warburg banking dynasty related to the Rothschilds, and whose representative, Pilgrim Society member Paul Warburg, was a main driver in inflicting the Federal Reserve System on the American public. Business Week, November 23, 1974, pages 92-93 had an article on Sir Siegmund Warburg of S. G. Warburg & Company, London. Warburg “created the huge Eurobond market” and (as of then) “still runs the bank from his home in Switzerland.” Additionally, Warburg “counts among his friends some of the most powerful men in the world.” Small wonder that he did; he was a member of the super-secret, all too influential, Pilgrim Society! His visible wealth was only listed at some $750 million. George Warburg, his son, also appeared in the late 1960’s list from London. S.G. Warburg & Company was later run by Sir Siegmund’s understudy, Lord Roll of Ipsden---most likely another member---who became one of the controllers of Bilderberg with its program of indoctrination of heads of state with the aims of world finance. No outsider can know how much wealth the Warburgs have accumulated through involvement with central banking because it would be to their detriment to have it known. Central banking and fiat money creation is about wealth transfer on the most enormous scale conceivable. Back to the issue of, does this organization truly qualify as a secret society? Again they would say no; just look, they released a book called “The Pilgrims of Great Britain---A Centennial History.” They had a list of original members of the London lodge for 1902, and the New York lodge for 1903. From other verifiable input, those lists are abridged---not complete. Someone is still trying to conceal facts. Furthermore, this book is far from a mass distribution item; I was barely able to get a copy. There are a number of intentional misstatements in the book (page 148 a key example) intended to misdirect the reader’s beliefs. A key point to be made is---they didn’t include a list of members as of 2002. Are the 2002 members not just as important as the founding members; WHY must their identity remain concealed? And if they purported to show a list of original members for both branches, also, why did they not include a United States list for 2002? Could it be they know that no one can go to cemeteries and try to interview the deceased? And that the living members anonymity will be shielded by nondisclosure? As they say on page 15, “The list of members makes fascinating reading.” Additionally, since the London branch thought it important to put out a (limited circulation) book celebrating their first 100 years, why has the United States branch not done so as well? They would therefore have been due to put out a book in 2003; no such book has appeared. Yet, should such a volume manifest, there would be no point in its listing original members from 1903, unless it chose to list all the original members (rather than just some of them in a pretense of completeness!) Rockefeller, Harriman, Vanderbilt, Whitney, Harkness, Pratt, Morgan, Mellon, Carnegie, Field and others---do not appear at the start; yet, operatives of these powerful families appear. What The Pilgrims could do, for the sake of balance, is include a CURRENT list---but after all, they are truly a secret organization and the full identities of all living members must not be disclosed!From the beginning, this group has controlled the most important informational media sources. We will take a glance at that point. They control the two most important newspapers in existence---the New York Times and The Times, London. They could get any publicity they want. What they’ve done is to give themselves controlled publicity---adequate to be able to say---“see, we’re not a secret society!” But it is a hollow declaration because they most important point is unsatisfied---they will not release their membership identities! If any of you are able to obtain a copy of the 2002 book, turn immediately to page 77. Notice the expression of the tallest member in the lineup from the left to the middle of the picture; study the expression of the member directly behind him; and evaluate the expression of the member at the far left. They looked like they were ready to split the rest of the country open and skin it alive, which is exactly what they did in 1929-1934.The following brief New York Times article, dated December 13, 1973, page 28, concerning an address by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to The Pilgrims London was sent to me by The Pilgrims New York office, by assistant secretary Mrs. E.M. Simpson along with her denial as to their secret society status---“Pilgrims Society Seeks U.S.-British Friendship. Special to The New York Times. London, Dec. 12---The Pilgrims Society, where Secretary Kissinger spoke tonight, has been fostering British-American friendship since 1902, when it was founded to “promote good relations” between Britain and the United States. Among its founders were Lindsey Russell of New York and Sir Harry Brittain of London, now a centenarian and a frequent and valued speaker at the society’s annual dinners here. There are American and British chapters and the society’s dinners are held in London and New York. The Pilgrims first dinner in 1903 was held in London. Chauncey Depew addressed it and Field Marshall Earl Roberts, the British Boer War commander, also among the founders, attended. The society’s presidents have usually been ambassadors. Members and guests are diplomats, high-ranking soldiers or other men of distinction in many fields.”The society’s presidents have occasionally---not usually---been ambassadors. The U.S. branch hasn’t had an ambassador for its president since before 1955. Notice they mention that “men of distinction in many fields” are members---but no names! They speak of having high-ranking military figures, and ambassadors, as members. We saw last December that they always control the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, and the U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain. Those “men of distinction in many fields” include personalities who are the wealthiest in the United States---and the facts look far different from lists of rich rankings in Fortune or Forbes. They control those magazines and can skew the facts any way they wish. Those “men of distinction” include the leading bankers and financiers---paper money creators who, having separated the financial system from a gold backing, are therefore more free to be the warmongers they are. That accounts for their inclusion of Generals and Admirals in their ranks. We will meet some of these.Another article by which they could falsely claim to not be a secret society appeared in The Times, London, February 10, 1982, page 10 and read---“The Pilgrims, who promote Anglo-American understanding, have Senator John Tower, chairman of the United States Senate Armed Services Committee, coming to lunch at the Savoy on February 23. Tower, a tough Republican, who won Lyndon Johnson’s seat two decades ago, is a powerful figure, in some senses outranking the well-publicized Secretary of State, Alexander Haig. On the other hand Haig was a general. Tower, the only enlisted reservist in Congress, is still officially a chief petty officer.”We find the same code language repeated over and over---“British-American friendship,” and “Anglo-American understanding” being two choice examples. What does this code language signify? It means that Britain will continue to pursue dreams of World Empire, using the might of America to back her up. We saw that in two World Wars and all indications are we are readying to see it in a third universal war! Like Ambassador Whitelaw Reid told his fellow conspirators in London---“Great Britain could count upon every dollar, every man, and every drop of blood in America.”

(Quoted in the Congressional Record, August 21, 1940). I don’t feel that way. Let England fight its own wars. This is the same country that attempted to hold us in subjugation over two centuries past. Our patriots died to free us from the Crown. Let’s not go back under it, nor be used to fight its wars in the Middle East! The common man in Britain can be seen as friends, but their leadership is dangerous beyond words. Reid was special Ambassador of the U.S. to Queen Victoria’s Jubilee, 1897, and again to the Coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. Let’s conduct a review of some personalities listed as original members of The Pilgrims 1903 New York, and of The Pilgrims London, 1902, based on the list of names in their 2002 book. Details come mainly from four separate Who’s Who volumes---Who Was Who in America, 1897-1942; and 3 British Who’s Who versions, published by Adam & Charles Black, London, covering deaths of prominent persons from 1897-1950. We’ll look at some U.S. personalities first. These are all men who passed away generations ago. Out of the 158 I found listed in those 4 reference volumes, only five (5) admitted posthumously that they were members of “Pilgrims,” and those five were all from the London side. That was 8.6% for London, fewer than 3.2% for both branches total, and zero for the U.S. branch alone! Not one of the 100 listed Americans included in his biographical details the most important fact of their lives---that they were members of The Pilgrims! It’s too sensitive a matter for the world at large to become aware of, how this elite crafts our destiny to our disadvantage.A total of 374 names were listed, encompassing the total alleged membership in London as of 1902 and New York as of 1903 (combined for both branches). 129 names were listed for London---34.5% of the admitted or alleged total. Assuming the actual ratio was the same with a somewhat larger figure (450 to 500 names) it appears that Americans are happy to join the British Empire scheme. 58 of 129 names for London were found in the 3 British Who’s Who volumes---about 45%. Many important people refuse to be listed. For the United States names, only 100 out of 245 names listed were found in the 1897-1942 Who Was Who---just fewer than 41%. Of the 100 listed members (all “underground” in the Who’s Who), only 7 were Yale graduates, and no details were given as to any membership in the Yale “super-fraternities.” Other schools similarly represented were Harvard and Columbia. Some choice details now follow! Major General Leonard Wood (1860-1927; Pilgrims 1903), Grand Officer, Order of the Golden Grain (China); Grand Officer, Order of the Rising Sun (Japan); Grand Officer, Legion of Honor (France); Grand Officer, Order of Mauritius and Lazarus (Italy); Roosevelt Medal; Ambassador to Argentina (1910); Chief of Staff, United States Army, 1910-1914; Commander, Department of the East, 1914-1917; chairman, special mission from U.S. to Philippine Islands, visiting Japan and China, 1921; governor-general, Philippine Islands, 1921. Candidate for Republican Presidential nomination, 1920; Congressional Medal of Honor, 1898, “for distinguished conduct in campaign against Apache Indians.”---

PILGRIM SOCIETY member! Military men are in the secret organization alongside the financiers the better to wage their wars. Adna Romanza Chaffee (1842-1914) was another member in 1903. According to the Combined Arms Research Library at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas---“General Adna R. Chaffee was the first soldier in American history to enlist in the Army as a private and then advance through the ranks to become Chief of the Army General Staff. Answering President Lincoln's call for volunteers, he joined the 6th Cavalry Regiment and participated in nearly all major cavalry actions of the Civil War.”“Following the Civil War, he fought Indians and chased outlaws in the southwest territories for more than twenty years. In the Spanish-American War, he commanded the first unit to sail for Cuba and eventually became Chief of Staff of the American Command during that war.”“He commanded American troops in China during the Boxer Rebellion and led the expedition that raised the siege of the legations at Peking. In Peking he upheld his reputation as a fighter and gained additional recognition as a skilled diplomat and administrator.”The Boxer Rebellion, dramatized in the film with David Niven and Charlton Heston, “55 Days at Peking” (1963) came about due to Chinese Imperial weariness of the British poisoning the population with opium. Chaffee---

According to a website on the Philippine-American War---“Adna Romanza Chaffee was born in Ohio in 1842. A veteran of the Civil war and countless Indian campaigns, he served throughout the Spanish-American War, and commanded American troops in the capture of Peking, China, during the Boxer rebellion. He replaced MacArthur as head general of the Philippines on July 4, 1901. Chaffee was the “soldier’s soldier,” a tough, hard-riding cavalryman who despised civilians in general and intended to crush the “insurrection.” He appointed Gen. Bell to Batangas and Smith to Samar, with orders to do whatever was necessary to destroy the opposition--he wanted an Indian-style campaign instead of the previous “humanitarian warfare.” Chaffee’s orders were largely responsible for the atrocities that marked the later stages of the war. When the war ended in 1902, Chaffee returned to the States, where he served as lieutenant general and Chief of Staff for the U.S. Army from 1904-1906. He retired in 1906 and died in 1914."If you should hear of a few Filipinos more or less being put away don't grow too sentimental over it."--Chaffee, to newspaper correspondent Joseph Ohl.”Joseph Wheeler (1836-1906) was identified in the 1942 and the 2002 Pilgrim books as a founder in London in 1902. He was a brigadier general in the Confederate Army who was wounded three times, had 16 horses shot out from underneath him, and 8 of his staff killed and 32 wounded. He commanded in “50 cavalry battles and hundreds of minor combats” (Who Was Who, 1897-1942, page 1329). After the war he became an attorney and planter and was a Congressman from Alabama, 1881-1899.From 1886 through 1900 Wheeler was a Smithsonian Institution regent. He was involved in military actions in Cuba in 1898 and the Philippines, 1899-1900 and became a United States Brigadier General in 1900. Do you find it strange that a passionate Southerner and Confederate general would become a founder of an organization, the American branch of which was based in New York, leading city of the despised “Yankees?” The British built warships for the South during the conflict and assisted them with exports. According to books such as “Money Powers of Europe” (1938) and “History of the Southern Confederacy” (1954), the English Rothschilds were involved in backing both sides, the North through financier August Belmont; the South through the Erlangers, family relatives. Wheeler in battle uniform---

Guess what! Surprise, surprise! The 2002 Pilgrim book lists August Bellmont (should be spelled with one l) as a 1903 member in New York (below)---

Another military figure in the 1903 Pilgrim list was Julius Stahel (born Hungary, November 5, 1825) who “fought in struggle for Hungarian independence under Louis Kossuth, 1848, and was wounded and decorated for gallantry; came to America, 1856; awarded Medal of Honor, November 4, 1893, for leading his division after he was severely wounded, and turned the enemy’s flank, at Piedmont, Virginia, June 5, 1864. Covered retreat of Union Army at head of his regiment at 1st battle of Bull Run; commanded advance column of General Fremont’s army in Shenandoah Valley; commanded brigade, 2nd battle of Bull Run; sent for by President Lincoln and assigned to command in front of Washington, March 13, 1863. Appointed consul at Yokohama, Japan, and consul general at Shanghai, China, 1884.” (Who Was Who, 1897-1942).Charles Francis Roe (1848-1922) was in the 1903 list and “served on frontier in Indian campaigns, including the Custer massacre, 21 years.” (WWW, 1897-1942). Rose was a real estate operator and married Katherine Bissell Bogert, whose middle and last names correspond to names of Pilgrim Society members in more recent years. I succumb to the temptation of saying, I wish the entire founding membership of The Pilgrims could have been wiped out at the Little Big Horn---it is not any exaggeration to state, we might have been spared World War I. There can be no other reasons for including military men in the membership other than to control the military, and to draw on their experience in planning wars the financiers intend to start!Samuel Baldwin Marks Young (1840-1924, Pilgrims 1903) was a lieutenant General from Pittsburgh who fought in the Civil War, fought in the Spanish-American War (1898-1899) and was Presidential Chief of Staff in 1903. He became the first president of the War College, 1902-1903, in Washington, D.C.Richardson Clover (1846-1919, Pilgrims 1903) married Mary Eudora Miller, daughter of Senator John F. Miller and was a career Naval officer. In 1897-1898 he was chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence; member of the Board on Construction of Vessels, 1897-1899; member War and Strategy board, 1898; commanded U.S.S. Bancroft, May 1, 1898, until end of Spanish-American War; served as Naval Attaché in London, 1900-1903; commanded as Rear Admiral, the U.S.S. Wisconsin, Asiatic region, 1904-1905; and served as president of the Board of Inspection, 1906-1908.John Calwell Calhoun (1843-1918, Pilgrims 1903) was with the Confederate Army at the Battle of Fort Sumter. His wife, Linnie Adams, was grandniece of Richard M. Johnson, vice president of the U.S., 1837-1941. After the war he had agricultural interests in Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas and was part of the management of the Cotton Exposition in 1884 at New Orleans. He was special ambassador to France in 1897, sent by the S.A.R.---Sons of the American Revolution (France assisted the Colonies in becoming free from the British). Calling himself a “financier” (perhaps the Erlangers put him in business) in the 1897-1942 volume, he was president of the Baltimore Coal Mining & Railroad Company and “Albertite Oilite & Cannel Coal Co. Ltd.”Henry Clark Corbin (1842-1909, Pilgrims 1903) was a Northern Civil War combatant as a brigadier General of volunteers. He was detailed for duty in March 1877 at the Executive Mansion (White House) and was secretary of the Sitting Bull Commission. According to page 260 of the 1897-1942 Who Was Who, Corbin was “with President Garfield at the time he was shot and at his bedside at Elberon, where he died. In recognition of his services, and the part he took in war with Spain, Congress conferred upon him the rank of major General commanding the Atlantic Division, 1904.” There are other Pilgrim Society members who mysteriously appeared close at hand on the scene of other Presidential assassinations, as we shall see!William Cary Sanger (1853-1921, Pilgrims 1903) was assistant Secretary of War, 1901-1903 and was related to the Dodge family (copper mining) and the Clevelands of Presidential fame; President Grover Cleveland was in the 1903 list. Sanger was a governor of the New York State Society of Colonial Wars; and governor general of the Order of Founders and Patriots of America. Upon his entry into The Pilgrims, British Crown organization, I must assume some of the founders and patriots of America turned over in their graves. Sanger was a member of the New York State Commission on Lunacy, 1910-1911. Well, was he “paranoid” for taking with him to his grave, the fact of his Pilgrim Society membership?FINANCIERS & INDUSTRIALISTSHenry Phipps (1839-1930, Pilgrims 1903) was a business partner with Andrew Carnegie in steel and came out of that enterprise with $75 million or more in 1901 dollars. In 1861 Phipps was a partner in Bidwell & Phipps, agents for the DuPont Powder Company, helping soldiers kill on the Civil War battlefields, but himself practicing patriotism from a safe distance. He made a “gift” to Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, in 1908 for America’s first clinic for the “treatment of mental illness;” apparently he was afflicted with a “personality disorder” because he neglected to mention his Pilgrim Society membership in the 1897-1942 volume; rather, the explanation, from their viewpoint would be, we’re not “mature” enough to understand their motives and goals, so it’s best we don’t know they exist, or if we know, to withhold the current list from us. In “The Rich and the Super Rich” by Lundberg (1968) he tells us on page 199 about the Bessemer Investment Company (later Bessemer Securities Corporation), the family holding company for Phipps interests, which at that time was identified as a major owner of New England Power; International Hydroelectric and International Paper. It was called Bessemer Trust after the Bessemer steel process. According to www.bessemer.com they control $42.4 billion in investment funds and says of themselves, “For nearly a century, Bessemer Trust has been defining wealth management.” It is certain that several of its directors are members. George Edward Ide (1860-1919, Pilgrims 1903) was with Dominick & Dickerman, investment bankers, 1881-1890 and became president in 1894. He was a director of Home Life Insurance; Brooklyn City Railroad; Title Guarantee & Trust Company; and Fidelity & Casualty Company. Dominick & Dickerman later became Dominick & Dominick and in 1949 Avery Rockefeller Jr. entered the firm. The 1966 Who’s Who, page 1800, shows he was a member of The Pilgrims; director of Grolier Incorporated, encyclopedias; governor, New York Stock Exchange and chairman of the National Association of Securities Dealers, 1962-1963. His father was a member also and intentionally caused the investing public losses which in 2005 dollars would run into many billions!Isaac Newton Seligman (1856-1917, Pilgrims 1903) married into the Loeb family of financiers; Wall Streeter John L. Loeb Jr. appeared as a member of The Pilgrims as of 1970’s Who’s Who volumes. J. & W. Seligman & Company opened up in Manhattan in 1878. Its offices were later at 54 Wall Street and it was interlocked with Anglo-California Bank. It controlled, among other entities, Butte Copper & Zinc Company of Helena, Montana. Page 154 of “Our Crowd---The Great Jewish Families of New York” (1967) described Isaac Seligman’s meeting in London with Baron Rothschild, who sat in Parliament for 23 years and was London correspondent for their financial operations (pages 154-157). In their first transaction of $55 million, Stephen Birmingham said on pages 156-157---“The Baron suggested the issue be backed by a combination of three houses---the House of Rothschild, the House of Morgan, and the House of Seligman. The Seligmans were now participating in the most powerful combination in the history of banking. The Seligman-Belmont-Morgan-Rothschild alliance was so successful that by the end of the decade there were complaints on Wall Street that London and Germany based bankers had a monopoly on the sale of United States bonds in Europe, which they virtually did. The Seligmans were now being called the “American Rothschilds.” In London Isaac understood the simple rule of Rothschild protocol. It was he who must always go to the Rothschild offices in New Court. The Baron would never deign to visit him, and Isaac would not have had the impertinence to ask him to. In New York the Seligman-Rothschild alliance did little to further the Seligmans’ progress towards assimilation. As the decade drew to a close, there were more dark mutterings of an “international conspiracy” of Jewish bankers to take over the world’s money.”Isaac Seligman met Lincoln at a White House reception (page 154). As far as one religious group is concerned, taking over the world’s money, hasn’t exactly happened, as I see it. The Rothschilds do have the strongest mystique as world financiers, but other non-Jewish power blocs such as the Mellons, Du Ponts and Rockefellers are sufficient to conclude that this peenomenon isn’t a factor of one religious group. Rather, it is a factor of these power blocs all uniting in The Pilgrim Society to “take over the world’s money! Isaac Seligman was a trustee of Munich Reinsurance Company; Russia Reinsurance Company (suggesting funding of Bolsheviks); Lincoln Trust Company; U.S. Savings Bank;; treasurer, City & Suburban Homes Company. The Seligmans intermarried with the Guggenheims (South American mining fortune) who also have representatives over the years in The Pilgrims. Louis Stern (1847-1922, Pilgrims 1903) was another director of Lincoln Trust; of Atlantic Mutual Insurance; Mutual Insurance; and was United States Commissioner at the Paris Exposition of 1900. Birmingham called the Seligman firm in New York, “World Bankers” (page 94).Lyman Judson Gage (1836-1927, Pilgrims 1903) was Treasury Secretary in the cabinets of Presidents McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, 1897-1902, in which capacity he opposed silver in the monetary system. Before going to Treasury he was president of the First National Bank of Chicago, and after Washington he became president of United States Trust Company on Wall Street. He was a three-time president of the anti-silver American Bankers Association (ask any member how they feel as to remonetization of silver). Gage was first president of the Chicago Bankers Association, twice president of the Civic Federation of Chicago and a trustee of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Gage took the financial editor of the Chicago Tribune, Frank Vanderlip, and got him into the banking business as his assistant at Treasury. Recall that Pilgrim Society member Vanderlip was at the Jekyll Island, Georgia meeting where the Morgan-Rockefeller interests finalized plans for the Federal Reserve System! Gage--

Frank Arthur Vanderlip (1864-1937, Pilgrims 1903) became vice president of the Stillman-Rockefeller dominated National City Bank, in 1901. By 1909 he was president of the bank. Page 1268 of the 1897-1942 Who’s Who says he “has resigned from numerous directorates.” He was a trustee of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (one-world viewpoints); New York University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and chairman, Scarborough School. He was on the executive committee of the New York State Chamber of Commerce and wrote “What Next In Europe” (1922) and “Tomorrow’s Money” (1934). In “Secrets of the Federal Reserve” (1983) Mullins described him on page 19 as what we’d call in plain language, a liar---below---

In “America’s 60 Families” (1937) Lundberg tells us on page 121---“The Jekyll Island conference took place in the atmosphere of an elaborate conspiracy. The trip to Georgia was made in a private car chartered by Aldrich, and the travelers all used assumed names so that the train crew would not establish their identities. For a long time there was no public knowledge that such a conclave had been held.”Richard Aldrich McCurdy (1835-1916, Pilgrims 1903) was related to Senator Nelson Aldrich (Pilgrims 1903), architect of the Federal Reserve System. After Harvard, McCurdy practiced law with Lucius Robinson, who later became Governor of New York. McCurdy held interests in the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, was a director of Guaranty Trust and practiced law with Lucius Robinson, who became a New York Governor. Robert H. McCurdy, his son, also appeared in the 1903 list. Richard’s sister Gertrude married Gardiner Hubbard (1822-1897) who was the financial backer of Alexander Graham Bell. In fact Hubbard’s daughter Mabel became Mrs. Bell. C.W. Bonynge (Pilgrims 1903) wasn’t listed in the 1897-1942 Who Was Who. However, Robert William Bonynge, evidently a relative, was listed. We learn that R.W. was a Republican Congressman from Colorado (mining state turncoat), 1905-1909, and was a member of Senator Aldrich’s National Monetary Commission, campaigning for a central bank, 1909-1912. According to page 116 of the 1897-1942 Who Was Who, he “delivered addresses throughout U.S. in behalf of monetary reform under auspices National Citizens League.” Some of those National Citizens were probably Pilgrim Society members. Paul Bonynge (deceased 1937) was a New York State Supreme Court justice, 1933-1937.Jefferson Monroe Levy (deceased 1924, Pilgrims 1903, Who Was Who, 1897-1942, page 724) was “author and first to introduce Reserve Bank Bill, 62nd and 63rd Congresses” (1911-1915) and “inherited “Monticello,” the home of Thomas Jefferson.” Jefferson would be chagrined to know that a paper money mobster came into possession of his estate! For “Reserve Bank Bill” read “Federal Reserve Bank Bill.” According to www.savingmonticello.com Jefferson Levy “made a fortune in real estate and stock speculation. By the turn of the 20th century, he was one of the wealthiest men in America.” Jefferson Levy---

Grover Cleveland (Pilgrims 1903) became President of the United States in 1884, running against James Gillespie Blaine, who himself later turned up a Pilgrim Society member! Cleveland was again elected President in 1892. According to the 1897-1942 Who Was Who, page 231---“In 1896 the Democratic Party having declared for the free coinage of silver in the platform of its National Convention, Mr. Cleveland withheld his support from the ticket and platform. Elected trustee, holding a majority of the stock of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of U.S., June 10, 1905. Member executive committee, National Civic Federation. Trustee Princeton University.” Silver enemy Cleveland---

Cleveland was known to be on terms with J.P. Morgan (Pilgrim Society) whose banks, along with the other huge Pilgrim Society run institutions, waged war on silver as money since at least 1878. Other Pilgrim Society members were lurking behind the National Civic Federation. Domhoff in “The Higher Circles” (1970) said the National Civic Federation “is crucial to an understanding of how the power elite shaped social legislation in the twentieth century.” For more on the National Civic Federation see www.theharbinger.org/xix/010206/walker.htmlHenry Clay Pierce (1849-1927, Pilgrims 1903) was chairman of National Railways of Mexico; chairman of Pierce Oil Company, St. Louis; chairman, Tennessee Central Railroad; and president, Pierce Investment Trust. According to www.picturehistory.com ---“Henry Clay Pierce was a businessman and financier who was considered one of the four richest men in the country. His business interests included railroads, oil and finance. Pierce Oil later became a subsidiary of Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Co.”According to Lundberg in “America’s 60 Families,” page 124---“Percy N. Furber, president of Oil Fields of Mexico, Ltd., in 1918 told C.W. Barron “the Mexican revolution was really caused by H. Clay Pierce” who owned thirty five percent of the stock of the Pierce-Waters Oil Company, which Standard Oil controlled through a sixty-five percent stock interest, and was a confidential Rockefeller henchman. “He wanted to get my property,” said Furber, who continued---“H. Clay Pierce demanded of Diaz that he should take off the taxes on oil imports” to enable Standard Oil to bring in products from the United States. “Diaz refused. Pierce put up the money behind Francisco Madero and started the revolution.”Here we find another case of a Pilgrim Society member crushing the fortune of a non-member---even going so far as to use revolutionary violence to oust a foreign head of state to have his destructive way! This Pierce was a real life, overblown version of the “Mr. Pierce” of “The War Wagon” (1966), a film about a gangster who took over land owned by John Wayne after railroading him into prison, then found large amounts of gold there. This is another instance of what The Pilgrims mean when they talk about “the seizure of the wealth necessary.” Charles Beecher Warren at age 33 became a charter member of The Pilgrims in 1903, general counsel to the National Bank of Commerce of Detroit. He was a member of the Republican National Committee, 1912-1920 and Ambassador to Japan, 1921-1923, when he was appointed to lead the High Commission to Mexico that negotiated the terms for resumption of diplomatic relations, May through September 1923, then became Ambassador to Mexico. The money powers sent him there to serve their interests after the destabilizations and revolutions. Warren was protégé of Donald McDonald Dickinson (1846-1917, Pilgrims 1903) was a member of the Democratic National Committee, 1880-1885 (the Society realizes the importance of controlling the nominating process at the national level) and was Postmaster General of the United States, 1887-1889 and president of the Detroit Museum of Art. Warren was a contender for the Attorney General position in the Coolidge administration.John George Milburn (1851-1930, Pilgrims 1903, born at Sunderland, England) was an attorney and presided over the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, New York, in 1901. He was president of the Pan-American Exposition Company, representing business interests targeting the southern hemisphere. According to the 1897-1942 Who Was Who, page 837, “President McKinley was taken to his house after fatal assault and died there.” I’ve seen allegations in various places that McKinley wasn’t willing to warm up to Great Britain---the reason for his demise? Milburn was a director of Chase National Bank (anti-silver); American Express; National Park Bank; and New York Life Insurance Company. Milburn was a trustee of Columbia University, Barnard College, and the New York Public Library. He was president of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, 1919-1920. Milburn was a member of the Board of Commissioners of Statutory Consolidation, which consolidated all the legal statutes of New York State dating to 1777.Elijah Watt Sells (1858-1924, Pilgrims 1903) was employed by various railroads owned by wealthy operators including the Vanderbilts, who through front men such as Chauncey Depew and Lindsay Russell, founded The Pilgrims along with British interests (Rothschilds and Windsors, British Crown). Page 1103 of the 1897-1942 Who Was Who stated---“With late Charles Waldo Haskins, was selected by joint commission of 53rd Congress, 1893, to effect a revision of the accounting system of U.S. Govt. with a view to simplifying and expediting public business (the most extensive and important undertaking of the kind in the history of the country). At the conclusion of this work, 1895, established firm of Haskins & Sells, of which is now senior member.”Arthur Bevins Foye (born 1893, Pilgrims 1969 list) was senior partner at Haskins & Sells. He was a past president of the Far-East America Council of Commerce & Industry; trustee, New York University; director, Pan-Africa Society; and trustee, U.S. Council of the International Chamber of Commerce (Who’s Who, 1966, page 713). John B. McDonald (1844-1911, Pilgrims 1903) was an agent of the Vanderbilts in building tunnels, bridges, railroads and subways in New York and elsewhere. He was president of the Interstate Tunnel Railway and vice president of Interborough Metropolitan Transit---

George Fisher Baker (1840-1931, Pilgrims 1903) was head of the powerful First National Bank of New York and held interests in many industries from railroads to water to insurance and was a director of “numerous companies and “many other corporations” (Who Was Who, 1897-1942, page 47). One of those was the First National Bank of Chicago. Others included American Telephone & Telegraph; First Security Company; New York & Long Branch Railroad; Jersey City Water Supply Company; Erie Railroad; New York Central Railroad; West Shore Railroad; Pullman Company; Astoria Light & Power; United States Steel; New Jersey General Security Company; Consolidated Gas; and Mutual Life Insurance. His grandson appeared in the 1969 list and the middle Baker was also almost certainly a member (also a director of General Motors); he was father in law to John Mortimer Schiff, third generation Pilgrim Society member at Kuhn, Loeb & Company, which later merged with Lehman Brothers, another Pilgrim Society investment bank. The Baker fortune was estimated at some $500 million as of 1924 (“America’s 60 Families,” page 26).George Walbridge Perkins (1862-1920, Pilgrims 1903) became a partner in J.P. Morgan & Company in 1901 and was a director of International Mercantile Marine Company; United States Steel; Florida East Coast Railway; American Alliance Insurance; Great American Insurance; Northern Securities Company; and International Harvester, and trustee, Vassar College. “America’s 60 Families” by Lundberg, page 97, told how Perkins, towards the close of the Wilson administration, chose Will H. Hays, “a small town Indiana lawyer” and made him chairman of the Republican National Committee.Robert A.C. Smith (deceased 1933, Pilgrims 1903) chairman, White Rock Mineral Springs Company; New Niquero Sugar Company; president, Connecticut Railway & Lighting Company; director, Brothers Valley Coal Company; Connecticut Light & Power Company; Mohawk Hudson Power Corporation; Connecticut Electric Service Company “and officer or director various other corporations” (1897-1942 volume, page 1148) He was also New York Dock Commissioner.Charles Tyson Yerkes (1837-1905, Pilgrims 1903) was listed on page 1389 of the 1897-1942 Who Was Who where we read---“Was prominent in street railway operations in Philadelphia from 1860, and after 1886, in Chicago, where he was long at head of the North and West Side and several suburban and elevated railway corporations; later engaged in financing, organizing and managing extensive system of underground railway in London. Gave to University of Chicago a telescope costing about $400,000 (then one of the largest and finest in the world, located in the Yerkes Observatory at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.)”

That was Yerkes, above, sporting a British Empire looking mustache and missing only a pith helmet and a cup of Lipton tea. Even as a dead man Charlie couldn’t stand to be known as a Pilgrim Society member, so it fell to someone else to turn over the rock so interested parties could see what was hiding underneath. Yerkes owned two-thirds of the street railway system of Chicago.William Henry Crocker (1861-1937, Pilgrims 1903) was the son of Charles Crocker of the Southern Pacific Railroad and associated interests, who passed away in 1888 leaving a fortune of at least $40 million, a lot of money by most standards today, a blue whale of a lot of money 117 years ago. William’s brother in law was Charles B. Alexander of the International Banking Corporation who was a Pilgrim Society member as of the 1927 Who’s Who. William Crocker was president of Crocker First National Bank of San Francisco; Crocker Investment Company; Provident Securities; Pacific Improvement Company; director, Pacific Telegraph & Telephone; Pacific Mutual Life Insurance; Pacific Gas & Electric and Metropolitan Life Insurance. He was a regent of the University of California and a 33rd degree Mason. Lundberg in “America’s 60 Families” page 383 had this comment---“Among the trustees of the University of California are William H. Crocker, descendant of a member of the lawless Crocker-Huntington-Stanford railroad group.”Below, William Henry Crocker, and the Crocker Mansion in San Francisco--\

Myron T. Herrick (1854-1929, Pilgrims 1903) was an Ohio attorney who was chairman of the Society for Savings, Cleveland. As he moved upwards in the power structure he became chairman of Union Carbide & Carbon Company (now part of Dow Chemical, Silver Users Association). Herrick was a director of New York Life Insurance Company and was a Presidential elector for Ohio in 1892 and was a member of the Republican National Committee. Herrick was Ambassador to France, 1912-1914, and again beginning in 1921. He served as a president of the American Bankers Association (paper money mob, anti-silver) and was on close personal terms with President McKinley and before that, while McKinley was Governor of Ohio. Herrick was a trustee of the Carnegie Institution of Washington—

Benjamin Newton Duke (1855-1929, Pilgrims 1903) was the power behind the ruthless monopoly known as the American Tobacco Company and was president of Durham & Southern Railway and Erwin Cotton Mills, and director of Durham Realty and Southern Power Company---

The Dukes today control the huge Duke Endowment which listed $2.3 billion in admitted assets at year-end 2003; Duke University; and Duke Energy, the dominant electric utility in the Mid-Atlantic States. According to Lundberg in “America’s 60 Families,” page 357---“Duke, the tobacco king, distributed his property before his death, thus avoiding inheritance or estate taxes. One-third was kept under Duke control by segregation in the Duke Endowment, for the benefit of Duke University. Controlling blocks of tobacco and public utility stocks were given to the Endowment, to be used in the domination of certain companies. THE GREATEST SECRECY SURROUNDS THE DUKE ENDOWMENT.”According to Lundberg in “The Rich And The Super Rich” (1968, page 190), as of then, Duke ownership of Duke Power Company (now Duke Energy) was 82%. As of 2003, Duke Energy had annual revenues of $59.5 billion (billion, not million). Williamson Whitehead Fuller (1858-1934, Pilgrims 1903) was general counsel to the American Tobacco Company “and many other corporations” (Who Was Who, 1897-1942, page 432).Edward Julius Berwind (1848-1936, Pilgrims 1903) was chairman of Berwind-White Coal Mining; president, Wilmore Coal Company; Ocean Coal Company; Kentland Coal & Coke Company; Wilmore Steamship Company; “also officer or director numerous other corporations.” (Who Was Who, 1897-1942, page 89). Some of those entities included---Subway Realty Company; Wilmore Steam Ship Company; Clyde Steam Ship Company; Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies Steam Ship Lines; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway; Prescott & Phoenix Railway; Cuba Railroad Company; Colorado & Santa Fe Railway; Interborough Rapid Transit; New York & Long Island Traction Company; Long Island Electric Railway Company; Rapid Transit Subway Construction; New York & Queens County Railroad; New River & Pocahontas Consolidated Coal; Archer Coal Depot; Maritime Coaling Company; Puerto Rico Coal; Mutual Life Insurance; Windber Pennsylvania Trust Company; Berwind Bank; Guaranty Safe Deposit Company; Newport Trust Company; Guaranty Trust Company of New York; North British & Mercantile Insurance; and Girard Trust, an institution founded by Stephen Girard, who was in league with the British as head of the first Bank of the United States till 1811. According to Myers in “History of the Great American Fortunes” (pages 74, 76 & 77), speaking of Girard---“The grand climax of the galaxy of American fortunes during the period from 1800 to 1831 was that of Girard. He built what was looked up to as the gigantic fortune of ten millions of dollars and far over-topped every other strainer for money except Astor, who survived him seventeen years, and whose wealth increased during that time to double what Girard left. During the British occupation of Philadelphia Girard was charged by the revolutionists with extreme double-dealing and duplicity in pretending to be a patriot, and taking the oath of allegiance, while secretly trading with the British. None of his biographers deny this. While merchant after merchant was being bankrupted from disruption of trade, Girard was incessantly making money. Not the least of his profits came from slave trading. From this time on his profits were colossal. His wealth was overshadowingly great, his power immense. He was a veritable dictator in the realms of finance; a repellant man, with his devil’s eye, who rode roughshod over every obstacle in his path. His every movement bred fear; his veriest word could bring ruin to anyone who dared cross his purposes. Appeals to him for aid went unanswered. No poor man ever came full-handed from his presence.” Lundberg in “America’s 60 Families,” page 182, noted---

“On the board of the Guaranty Trust Company, directing its participation in situations like the Van Sweringen bubble, sat E.J. Berwind, head of a great nineteenth century coal fortune.”The Berwind fortune was reckoned at some $150 million in 1924 dollars (Lundberg, page 26). So we see that Berwind, who became a member of the premier British Empire organization---The Pilgrims---had a hand in Girard Trust, a major banking establishment left by the second most important British collaborator of the nineteenth century (Astor was the most important). The Berwinds were involved with the Rockefellers (page 94) and also with J.P. Morgan & Company (page 237) and Lundberg said (page 323) that the Berwinds with their “tremendous accumulation” (page 36)---“have no reasonable claim to significant philanthropic intention at all.”Harvard Business School’s list of Great American Business Leaders of the 20th Century said of Berwind---“Berwind was reputed to be the world’s largest individual owner of coal mining properties. Berwind also was considered a hard-driving businessman. He refused to bargain with employees.”Berwind was a member of the Bankers Club (New York) and the Pilgrim Society offshoot, the Japan Society.Moses Taylor (1871-1928, Pilgrims 1903) was with Kean, Taylor & Company, investments. The Kean in that firm could be an ancestor of Thomas Kean, ex New Jersey governor who headed the 9-11 Commission, a cover-up exactly similar to the Warren Commission on the Kennedy assassination. Taylor was chairman of Lackawanna Steel;; president, New York & Queens Gas Company; and director, Westchester & Bronx Title & Mortgage; Lake Champlain & Moriah Railroad; South Buffalo Railway; and Tilly Foster Iron Mines. According to Eustace Mullins in “Secrets of the Federal Reserve” (1983, page 64), Taylor’s father was worth $50 million---as of 1864! The Taylors owned many shares in the National City Bank---a predecessor to today’s Citigroup. Time, January 31, 2005, page 21 reported the death of Walter B. Wriston, “financial guru who as chairman of Citicorp from 1967 to ’84 redefined the way Americans use banks,” and remained silent as to his Pilgrim Society activities. In 1812 the City Bank, later called the National City Bank, opened up for business in the same building where the defunct (as of 1812) first Bank of the United States was located---a British affiliated institution.James Robert Keene (1838-1913, Pilgrims 1903) appeared on page 659 of the 1897-1942 Who Was Who---“Stockbroker etc; born London, England, 1838; went with family to California, 1852; became miner in California and Nevada, later speculator in mining stocks, San Francisco; accumulated $6,000,000 during “bonanza” period of the 70’s; was president San Francisco Stock Exchange; since 1877 an operator on Wall Street, New York.”Thomas F. Walsh (1851-1910, Pilgrims 1903) had a brief profile in the 1897-1942 Who Was Who, which, like all other listed 1903 Pilgrim Society members in the United States, failed to state that fact in the biographical volume! Page 1294 reads---“Engaged in mining business, made close study of geology, mineralogy, metallurgy, the deposition of ore bodies and the development and treatment of ores and was instrumental in introducing new methods of treatment. Developed, equipped and is large owner in the Camp Bird mines, Ouray, Colorado. One of the National Commissioners to Paris Exposition, 1900.”According to www.miningfoundationsw.org Walsh was in on the Black Hills, South Dakota gold rush in 1874; in 1877 he bought the Grand Hotel in Leadville, Colorado; and set up operations in 1881 at the Camp Bird Mine (near the Sneffels range) west of Ouray. We read---“Walsh’s daughter Evalyn married Edward Beal McLean, heir to the Washington Post and Cincinnati Enquirer and they became co-owners of the infamous Hope diamond. The Walshes were friends of presidents and kings and Mr. Walsh represented the United States at the World Exposition in Paris, having been appointed to that position by the President.”Thomas Walsh was associated with another Pilgrim Society member, John Hays Hammond, who met Cecil Rhodes in South Africa during the British war against Dutch settlers over control of mineral wealth. The President sent Hammond to the Royal Coronation in London of King George V in 1911. The 1929 Who’s Who, page 949 tells us that Hammond was a “special expert with the U.S. Geological Survey in 1880, examining California gold fields.” After that he went into Mexico, returned to San Francisco and became a consultant to Union Iron Works, and Central and Southern Pacific Railways. We read further that he---“Has examined properties in all parts of world; became consulting engineer for Barnato Brothers 1893, and later for Cecil Rhodes, of whom he became a strong supporter; consulting engineer, Consolidated Gold Fields of South Africa, British South Africa Company and Randfontein Estates Gold Mining Company; went to London and became interested in many mining companies; returned to U.S., 1900, and became associated with some of the most important financial groups in this country, purchasing and promoting several of the largest and most valuable mining properties in U.S. and Mexico; has also been very active in various interests outside of mining, including hydro-electric enterprises, irrigation projects, etc.”Hammond was president of the American Institute of Mining Engineers in 1907-1908 and was president of the Panama Pacific Exposition in 1912; chaired the World Court Congress 1914-1915, which created the World Court, a strategy to undermine sovereignty of individual nations and shift power to his British-American Secret Society. He chaired the United States Coal Commission, 1922-1923 and was president of the National League of Republican Clubs. Hammond was on a personal basis with Presidents Grant, Hayes, Taft, Theodore Roosevelt and Coolidge. His son John Jr. was the inventor of the remote control, did extensive radio research for the Navy and held more patents than anyone since Thomas Edison. Hammond Sr. omitted details of his Pilgrim Society activities from Who’s Who---

Another Pilgrim Society member active with Thomas Walsh was Alfred Chester Beatty, who appeared on page 247 of the 1927 Who’s Who as a graduate of the Columbia University School of Mines. He was with the Guggenheim interests who, according to Stephen Birmingham in “Our Crowd” (1967, page 24) became “staggeringly rich” and had an “explosive presence.” Beatty was an engineer at Chino Copper mines; Esperanza Mining; Utah Copper; and Camp Bird Limited. He was a director of Chino Copper; Guggenheim Exploration; Nevada Consolidated Copper; New River Collieries; Ray Consolidated Copper; Columbia Trust Company; J.G. White Engineering; then moved to London where he became chairman of African Selection Trust Limited; Tetuihe Mining Corporation; Burma Corporation Limited; Bwana M. Kubwa Copper Mining; Consolidated African Selection Trust Limited; Metals Production Ltd.; Rhodesian-Congo Border Concessions; Southern Rhodesia Base Metals Corporation; and Venezuelan Oil Concessions. Beatty operated out of “Baroda House,” London, headquarters of some of the British exploitation of India and the Far East. I advise any concerned mining shareholders present at annual general meetings to ask the question, are any senior members of management or directors members of The Pilgrims, because if that’s the case, the rank and file are at risk of a financial dislocation.George Gray Ward (1844-1922) turned up as a Pilgrim Society member about 1904 (2002 book, page 77). Ward’s listing in the 1897-1942 volume, page 1297 is as follows---“Capitalist; born Hertfordshire, England, December 30, 1844; educated at Cambridge. Associated with late John W. Mackay in organizing the Atlantic and Pacific submarine cables of the Commercial Cable Company; general manager Commercial Pacific Cable Company; vice president Postal Telegraph Cable Company; The Mackay Companies; president U.S. & Hayti Cable Company. Decorated by Emperor of Germany with decoration of Royal Prussian Crown, 1900, in connection with laying submarine cable between U.S. and Germany, and by Emperor of Japan with insignia of Commander of the Rising Sun, 1906, on completion of cable between U.S. and Japan.”Page 763 of the volume listed John William Mackay (deceased 1902), Ward’s business partner---“Capitalist; born Dublin Ireland, November 28, 1831; moved with family to New York, 1840; learned shipbuilding trade; went to California, 1851; to Nevada, 1860; engaged in mining; had two-fifths share in “Bonanza” mines of the Comstock Lode, which made him one of the richest men in the world. Established (with Messrs. Flood and Fair) Nevada Bank, San Francisco, becoming its president; established (with James Gordon Bennett) the Commercial Cable Company.”Bennett was owner of the New York Herald. William K. Vanderbilt Jr. of one of the founding families of The Pilgrim Society, married California Senator James Fair’s daughter, linking the Comstock silver strike fortune with the Vanderbilts. Lundberg (1937) noted the fortune was “based upon the fabulous Ophir silver mine.” Darius Mills was another who made a huge fortune in Nevada mining silver. Whitelaw Reid, Pilgrim Society member, publisher of the New York Tribune and Ambassador to Britain, 1905-1913 was Mills son in law. His grandsons, Ogden Reid, Ambassador to Israel, 1959-1961 and U.S. Congressman, and Whitelaw Reid, both became Pilgrim Society members and both were members of Book & Snake Society (Yale). Ogden Mills (Pilgrim Society), grandson of Darius Mills, was Treasury Secretary 1932-1933 and inherited $40 million from his grandfather, who opened the National Gold Bank in San Francisco in 1840---first bank west of the Rocky mountains---helped finance the Southern Pacific Railroad (another Pilgrim Society operation) and was first president of the Bank of California in 1864. Charles Hamilton Sabin was identified by Congressman Thorkelson (referred to previously) as a member. Page 2007 of the 1933 Who’s Who---in which he was “underground” or incognito (silent as to his status as a Pilgrim) shows he was a director of the Mackay Companies and Commercial Cable Company. Sabin was a director of numerous large corporations such as Shell Oil; Owens-Illinois Glass Company; Inspiration Consolidated Copper; International Mercantile Marine; Air Reduction Company; Vanadium Corporation and others and was president of Morgan Guaranty Trust. The 1943 Who’s Who showed Cecil Parker Stewart (Pilgrims U.S.), Canadian born, as another Mackay director, plus the expected number of other directorships such as American Merchant Marine; U.S. Marine & Foreign Agencies; American Cable & Radio; Lawyers Title Corporation; Pilot Reinsurance; Atlantic Coast Fisheries; Bloedel Lumber Mills; All-America Corporation; Electric Ferries; Securities Corporation General; United States Life Insurance; Bondholders Protective Committee and others. The 1979 Who’s Who, page 2575, showed incognito Pilgrim Society member Warren Lee Pierson (1969 leaked list) as president of Commercial Cable Company and Mackay Radio & Telegraph. Did you notice the price run-up in molybdenum lately? Pierson (decorated by 7 nations) was a director of Molybdenum Corporation and with Pilgrim Society member Charles C. Tillinghast Jr., ran Trans World Airlines after Pilgrim Society members David Rockefeller and Frederic H. Brandi ousted nonmember Howard Hughes (see February 2005 installment in this series). Pierson was a delegate to the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944, which did so much to move us towards a full fiat currency system. Here we’ve seen that Pilgrim Society members and their partners were directly linked to the great Nevada silver rush. Yet the Society was behind the creation of the Federal Reserve and attacks on the use of silver as money. Apparently it was OK for them to make fortunes mining silver. If WE start to do so---at that point, it will NOT be OK with The Pilgrim Society for us to do well in silver---because we’re not members! Charles Augustus Peabody (1849-1931, Pilgrims 1903) was the product of two wealthy old-line families. His mother was Julia Caroline Livingston, of an old Colonial times fortune. Gustavus Myers in “History of the Great American Fortunes” described the founder of the Livingston fortune, Robert Livingston (1654-1728), pages 44-45---“Robert Livingston, progenitor of a rich and potent family which for generations exercised a profound influence in politics and other public affairs, contrived to get together an estate which soon ranked as the second largest in New York state and as one of the greatest in the Colonies. In currying favor with one official after another he was unscrupulous, dexterous and adaptable. He invariably changed his politics with the change of administration. In less than a year after his arrival he was appointed to an office which yielded him a good income. This office he held for nearly half a century, and simultaneously was the incumbent of other lucrative posts. Offices were created by Governor Dongan apparently for his sole benefit. His passion was to get together an estate which would equal the largest. Extremely penurious, he loaned money at frightfully usurious rates and hounded his victims without a vestige of sympathy. Livingston was in collusion with Captain Kidd, the sea pirate.”“As a trader and government contractor he made enormous profits; such was his cohesive collusion with high officials that competitors found it impossible to outdo him. A current saying of him was that he made a fortune by “pinching the bellies of soldiers”---that is, as an army contractor who defrauded in quantity and quality of supplies. By a multitude of underhanded and ignoble artifices he finally found himself the Lord of a manor sixteen miles long and twenty-four broad. On this estate he built flour and saw mills, a bakery and a brewery. In his advanced old age he exhibited great piety but held on grimly to every shilling that he could and as long as he could. When he died about 1728---the exact date is unknown---at the age of 74 years, he left an estate which was considered of such colossal value that its true value was concealed for fear of further enraging the discontented people.”Charles Augustus Peabody’s father was Judge Charles Peabody, and might be a relation to George Peabody, original U.S. partner of J.P. Morgan. Charles Peabody was president of Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York; chairman executive committee, Illinois Central Railroad; and director Georgia Railway Company; Atlantic Mutual Insurance; Oregon Short Line Railroad; Union Pacific Railroad; Delaware & Hudson Company; Central Georgia Railway; Church Pension Fund; Farmers Loan & Trust; and the National City Bank. Edward Coleman Delafield (born 1877) appeared in the 1960 Who’s Who, page 730, showing both of his parents were of Livingston lineage---apparently, a marriage of cousins---and in 1920 Delafield was president of the Bank of America. After that he went to City Bank, New York, till 1937, when he formed Delafield & Delafield, a stock exchange member. Delafield was a director of Virginia Railway; Fidelity & Casualty Company; Pemeta Oil; J.G. White Engineering; General Precision Equipment Corporation; Greenwich Savings Bank; Corona Brewing Company; and National Dominican Brewery. He was a director of Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research and a member of the Descendants of Colonial Lords of Manors in America, a reflection on his Livingston ancestry. He was also a member of the Society of the Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, the spirit of which was totally opposite that of his Pilgrim Society activities! A likely relation, Louis L. Delafield was president of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, 1911-1912.William Butler Duncan (1830-1912, Pilgrims 1903) appeared in the 1897-1942 volume, page 346. It reads “Banker, New York, 1851-1875; president, 1874-1888, chairman board of directors since 1888, Mobile & Ohio Railroad Company. He owned large plantations in Mississippi and was a major shareholder in the Bennington Vermont & Woodford Electric Railway. He was the major shareholder in Atlantic & Great Western Railway; Civil War General George McClellan was one of his business partners. On January 25, 1873, Duncan paid $100,000 to buy the entire assets of Lebanon Springs Railroad. As of 1908 he turned up as president of The Pilgrims, New York. Henry Harrington Hall (1846-1906, Pilgrims 1903) was U.S. manager for Northern Assurance of London; and Union & Crown Insurance Company of London. President, Underwriters Salvage Company; director, State Fire Insurance Company of Liverpool, England and Victoria Fire Insurance Company. Notice the allusions to the British Crown in those insurance companies!John A. McCall (1849-1906, Pilgrims 1903) was president of New York Life Insurance; comptroller, Equitable Life Assurance Society; trustee, Continental Trust Company and New York Security & Trust Company; director, Central National Bank and First National Bank of New York.Jacob Godfrey Schmidlapp (1849-1919, Pilgrims 1903) was in the cigar and whiskey business at Memphis, 1868-1874, operating a distillery; organized the Export Storage Company; founded the Union Savings Bank & Trust Company, 1890; and was a director of Equitable Life Assurance Society; Degnon Construction; American Security Company; Electric Securities Company; White Rock Springs Company; Piqua Ohio Malt Company; Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and Montana Power Company; president, Cincinnati Model Homes for Wage Earners; director, Carnegie Peace Fund; treasurer, American Society for the Judicial Settlement of International Disputes; trustee, Cincinnati Law School. According to www.53.com he was “one of the most respected and successful men of his time”---

Chauncey Mitchell Depew (1834-1928, Skull & Bones 1856, Pilgrims 1903, executive committee) was a founder of the Society. Before anyone says---aha—this proves Skull & Bones controls The Pilgrims---nonsense. Depew was the only Bonesman out of a committee of 26 founders so far identified of The Pilgrims, so you can see; fewer than 4% of the founders were Skull & Bones members. Skull & Bones, as I articulated elsewhere, was founded in 1832 as a British Empire front, the same as The Pilgrims. Skull & Bones was founded by William H. Russell of Russell & Company, opium dealers who had a slice of the Chinese opium trade---which was absolutely dominated by the British. Yale University itself takes its name from Elihu Yale, who operated a British fort in India as an opium shipment depot to China. Skull & Bones and The Pilgrims both represent the same “forces,” those of greed and power. But Skull & Bones is not a worldwide Society---The Pilgrims are worldwide, also having a base in London. The Pilgrims claim to be “everywhere” and can back it up. Bones is a U.S. organization only and the elite of the mother country---England---aren’t members, but they are members of The Pilgrims. In “The Empire Of The City---World Superstate” by Knuth (1946), page 63, remarked---“The guileless implication of something spontaneous, magnificent and overwhelming in this movement can be caustically exposed by referring to an autographed copy of “Pilgrim Partners” by Sir Harry Brittain, published in very limited edition in 1942. The sub-title of the book is “Forty Years of British-American Fellowship” and one critic stated in a review---“The Pilgrims, founded in 1902, with one section in England, and one in America, was described some time ago by a leading New York paper as “the most distinguished international organization in the world.” Each incoming American or British Ambassador receives his initial welcome from The Pilgrims, and gives his first address to a Pilgrims gathering.”As to sheer power, The Pilgrims runs circles around Skull & Bones. Even The Pilgrims direct subsidiary, the Council on Foreign Relations (with which Bones interlocks) is far more powerful than Bones. Rhodes Scholars, another key Pilgrim Society subset, appears more influential than Bones (and will eventually be looked at). Across all the organizations having identical nature---Trilaterals, Bilderberg and all the rest, an interlock is maintained to prevent any “drifting” away from master plans. While The Pilgrims had a significant trace of Skull & Bones in their founding, it usually appears that the lone individual in charge of the Russell Trust Association (corporate name of Skull & Bones) is always also a Pilgrim Society member! According to Webster Tarpley in “George Bush—the Unauthorized Biography”---“As of 1978, all business of the Russell Trust Association was handled by its lone trustee, Brown Brothers Harriman partner John B. Madden Jr.”It seems the Russell Trust Association has a “lone trustee” arrangement; and that the position shifts over the years as the trustee becomes too elderly to handle affairs. John Beckwith Madden Jr. is a member of The Pilgrims. The 1978 Who’s Who, page 2049, showed him a director of Merchant Properties Incorporated; Merchant Sterling Corporation; Sterling Iron & Railway Company; Fuel Resources Incorporated; Brooklyn Union Gas Company; Brooklyn Savings Bank; Orama Securities Corporation; Mutual Life Insurance Company; and Freeport Minerals; trustee James Foundation and Yale University. Page 2524 of the 1974 Who’s Who shows Pilgrim Society member Francis F. Randolph---of J. & W. Seligman & Company (read about them farther along) was treasurer of Russell Trust Association, 1942-1955. Since he was 53 as of 1942, it’s very safe to assume he was in The Pilgrims when he assumed control of Bones finances. Randolph was a board member of many insurance, railroad, and financial corporations. The reference to “George Bush—the Unauthorized Biography” can be found at www.trunkerton.fsnet.co.uk/skull_and_bones.htm and quite astutely, Tarpley made the connection of Skull & Bones to pre-existing British interests. Those same interests gave rise to The Pilgrims and found willing American co-conspirators.Returning to Depew; he was a lawyer representing the immense Vanderbilt railroad interests. He was a member of the New York Assembly, 1861-1862; secretary of state of New York, 1863 and worked as an attorney for the New York & Harlem Railroad beginning in 1866. Myers in “History of the Great American Fortunes” (pages 318, 320 and 323) commented on Commodore Vanderbilt’s chief agent and front man--“Vanderbilt now had a complete railroad system from New York to Chicago, with extensive offshoots. From the “reform” Legislature of 1872 Vanderbilt secured all he sought. The act was so dexterously worded that while not nominally giving a perpetual franchise, it practically revoked the qualified parts of the charter of 1832. It also compassionately relieved him of the necessity of having to pay out about $4,000,000, in replacing the dangerous roadway by the construction of a tunnel, by imposing that cost upon New York City. His chief instrument during all those years was a general utility lawyer, Chauncey M. Depew, whose specialty was to impress the public by grandiloquent exhibitions of mellifluent spread-eagle oratory, while bringing the “proper arguments” to bear upon legislators and other public officials. Every one who could in any way be used, or whose influence required subsidizing was, in the phrase of the day, “taken care of.”Myers (page 572) said the Vanderbilts were among the “monarchs of the land.” Depew worked for other of the Vanderbilt railroads, including New York Central & Hudson River Railroad; West Shore Railroad; and in 1898 became chairman of their New York Central Railroad. He was placed on such boards as Western Union Telegraph (in which the infamous Astors held large interests); Chicago & North West Railway; Chicago, Saint Paul, Minneapolis & Ohio Railway Company; Canada Southern Railway Company; “and numerous railway, banking and other corporations.” He was a regent of the State University of New York, 1877-1904. President Benjamin Harrison wanted Depew as Secretary of State, but he declined due to his railroad activities. The Vanderbilts holdings in the United States were larger than what they had elsewhere. He received 99 nominating votes at the Republican Presidential Convention of 1888 during which he was a delegate at large, and again in 1892; 1896; 1900; 1904; 1908; 1912; 1916; 1920 and 1924. Depew placed Benjamin Harrison in nomination for the Presidency in 1888 and Levi P. Morton in 1896. Depew was a United States Senator, 1899-1905 and in 1905-1911 and opened the Chicago Exposition of 1893---

Alfred H. Smith (deceased 1924, Pilgrims 1903) was an executive with the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad who became president of New York Central Lines, controlled by the Vanderbilts.Samuel Reading Bertron (1865-1938, Skull & Bones 1885, Pilgrims 1903) married Caroline Harding and founded Bertron & Storrs, investment bankers, Philadelphia and New York. Richard S. Storrs was listed in The Pilgrims for 1969 and was a trustee of the Transatlantic Fund, another British front. His daughter married into the Fahnestock fortune, Wall Street investment bankers. Bertron was a director of Atlantic Safe Deposit Company; National Surety Company; United Gas & Electric Corporation; Electric Bond & Share Company; Wire Wheel Corporation of America; New York Indemnity Company; San Juan Sugar Company; and International Equities Corporation. President Wilson appointed Bertron in 1917 to his Special Diplomatic Mission to Russia, which existed to help the Bolsheviks remain in power. Bertron then became chairman of the American-Russian Chamber of Commerce, of which Pilgrim Society member Charles Coleman was president. He was decorated by Rumania; Belgium; Italy and France and was vice president of the War Relief Clearing House for France. He worked with Senator McAdoo on the Excess Profit Tax Board for 4 years. McAdoo (Pilgrim Society—likely) became Treasury Secretary in the Wilson administration and was conversant with the J.P. Morgan interests. Could it be that elitists judge non-allied rich as having excess profits to tax, whereas, such punitive measures are never inflicted on THEM? The 1928-1929 Who’s Who, page 283, has Bertron mentioning his Skull & Bones membership, but as to his Pilgrim Society membership---he was “in the dark!”Paul Drennan Cravath (1861-1940, Pilgrims 1903) was a director of the Council on Foreign Relations, 1921-1940. He married Agnes Huntington (1892) and it’s unclear whether she was related to Collis P. Huntington (deceased 1900) of the Southern Pacific Railway. Cravath was a member of the Inter-Allied War Conference at Paris in 1917 representing the United States Treasury Department. He was advisor to the American Mission of the Inter-Allied Council on War Purchases and Finance, London and Paris, 1918. He received the Distinguished Service Medal from the U.S. and was decorated by France, Rumania and Italy. Cravath’s law partner starting in 1888 was Charles Evans Hughes, who wasn’t listed as a charter Pilgrim in 1903, but may well have been; at any rate, he did become one by 1924 (2002 book, page 114, probably earlier than that). Lundberg in “America’s 60 Families” page 129 said---“In every detail of his life Hughes was joined with the Wall Street freebooters.” The Wall Street law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore is today an international powerhouse in legal affairs. Morris Ketchum Jesup (spelled Jessup in the Pilgrims book, I believe the double “s” to be correct, 1830-1908, Pilgrims 1903) was an “active banker, 1852-1884” and presided over the Chamber of Commerce of New York. He was also president of the American Sunday School Union and the Peary Arctic Club and the American Museum of Natural History. He was a trustee of Union Theological Seminary and Syrian Protestant College at Beirut, Lebanon. He was also trustee of the Peabody Education Fund and the Rockefellers General Education Board. Jessup was a director of Atlantic Mutual Insurance; Western Union Telegraph and Metropolitan Trust Company.Edwin Wilbur Rice Jr. (1862-1935, Pilgrims 1903) became chairman of General Electric Company, which appears to have occupied most of his time. During his tenure its capitalization increased 426%. He was decorated by France and Japan, with the Order of the Rising Sun. He was president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1917. His father was an extremely prominent clergyman---

Cassius Milton Wicker (1846-1913, Pilgrims 1903) married Augusta, daughter of Governor Augustus C. French of Illinois, June 5, 1872. He was president of Dillon-Griswold Wire Company; Bankers Money Order Association; Nassau Bond Company; North Shore Traction Company; vice president, Washington Savings Bank; Fort Worth & Rio Grande Railway; Colorado Eastern Railroad and director “various companies.” He was president of the Chicago Society of New York and was a commissioner of the Chicago Board of Trade.Henry Clay Evans (1843-1921, Pilgrims 1903) was chairman of the Chattanooga Board of Education and twice mayor. He was a Congressman from 1889-1891. He was a delegate at large to the Republican National Conventions, 1892 through 1916. He was U.S. Commissioner of Pensions, 1897-1902 then American Consul General in London, 1902-1905. He was a trustee of Chattanooga University and the University of Tennessee. He was the largest shareholder in Chattanooga Car & Foundry Company; sole owner, Anchor Flour Mills, largest in the South; and a large stockholder in Lookout Mountain Inclined Railway Company; Roane Iron Company; Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad; and Electric Light Company of Chattanooga.Frank Spencer Witherbee (1852-1917, Skull & Bones 1874, Pilgrims 1903) married Mary Rhinelander on April 25, 1883. Myers in “History of the Great American Fortunes” noted on page 90 that the Rhinelanders held the third largest real estate fortune in the United States as of the late 19th century. During the 1850’s and 1860s the Rhinelanders, in collusion with corrupt officials, got “water grants” worth countless millions around New York. Water grants were grants of land submerged under shallow water, whose prospective value, once filled and elevated, was tremendous. Myers commented (pages 114- 115)---“The methods by which these men secured large areas of land, now worth huge sums, were unquestionably fraudulent. Out of these water grants was created property now worth hundreds of millions of dollars.”Page 184---“The Rhinelander family derived rentals from a great number of tenement houses. The Rhinelanders employed their great surplus revenues in constantly buying more land. With true aristocratic aspirations, they were not satisfied with mere plebeian American mansions, gorgeous palaces though they were; they set out to find a European palace with royal associations, and found one in the famous castle of Schonberg, on the Rhine, near Oberwesel, which they bought and where they ensconced themselves. How great the wealth of this family was may be judged from the fact that one of the Rhinelanders---William---left an estate valued at $50,000,000 on his death in December 1907.”Page 205, the Rhinelanders “systematically defrauded in taxes for many decades.”Page 279---“The Rhinelanders prudently kept in the background, and managed to loot the city by operating through go-betweens.” To return to Mr. Witherbee, the Rhinelander-in-law and Pilgrim Society member---starting in 1875, he owned iron ore mines, and was president of Witherbee, Sherman & Company (possibly with Treasury Secretary John Sherman, anti-silver activist); Witherbee was also president of Cubitas Iron Ore Company; Lake Champlain & Moriah Railroad; vice president, Cheever Iron Ore Company; director Equitable Life Assurance Society; trustee, New York Life Insurance & Trust Company; Fulton Trust Company; director, Central Hudson Steamboat Company; Citizens National Bank at Port Henry, New York; president, Troy Steel Company and vice president, Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Company. Several of those entities were taken over by his Pilgrim Society associates at U.S. Steel. Witherbee was a member of the Republican National Committee and was “frequently” a delegate to national and state conventions and served as a Presidential elector. He played a role in developing the New York State Barge Canal and was a director of the American Iron & Steel Institute. Another director was Alva Clymer Dinkey, Pilgrim Society, who was right hand man to Pilgrim Society member Andrew Carnegie.Robert Fulton Cutting (1852-1934, Pilgrims 1903) had this said of him on page 289 of the 1897-1942 volume---“Officer or director in numerous corporations.” He was described as a “financier” and the volume doesn’t give much more in the way of detail. Turning to the web we see that Cutting gave money towards the founding of Berry College, near Rome, Georgia. He was chairman of the New York Bureau of Municipal Research and of the Citizens Union, which both appear to have been exploitative fronts for large scale real estate investors ripping off the public and the tax base. In 1885 Cutting was treasurer of the national Episcopal Church in the United States. In the U.S. branch, I see over the years that more members list themselves as Episcopalians than any other single religious affiliation, not really a surprise in view of its connections to the Anglican Church of England! www.anglocatholicsocialism.org says Cutting was a “multi-millionaire,” hardly an unexpected fact. Cutting had his sights set on the world stage with an eye for manipulation, along with the other members of The Pilgrims. He was a member of the Commission for Relief in Belgium (post World War I) and was a member of the committee of the National Arbitration and Peace Congress. On October 1, 1917, Cutting hosted the members of the Imperial Japanese Mission to the United States. Other Pilgrim Society members were on hand, including Andrew Carnegie’s chief agent, former Secretary of State Elihu Root, and Percy Avery Rockefeller, director of over 50 corporations. Percy was John D. Rockefeller’s nephew, and caused the investing public losses approaching $200 million in the Kreuger swindle in 1932 (Kreuger committed suicide and Rockefeller went on to other frauds “America’s 60 Families,” page 238). Root was at that time, president of the warmongering Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The Japanese publicly stated they had no intent to invade China, but that was only for public consumption. Everyone present knew what was coming and was happy with the knowledge. Cutting was a trustee of the Brookings Institution which, as documented elsewhere, opposes silver use in the monetary system! At its website you find that Brookings corresponded with various identified Pilgrim Society members including Chauncey Depew; John D. Rockefeller and John Bassett Moore, a high-powered attorney. Brookings went with Andrew Carnegie and another member we just looked at, banker Jacob Schmidlapp, as U.S. representatives to Germany for the 25th anniversary celebration for the Kaiser. A current Brookings trustee is Pilgrim Society member James D. Robinson III, retired chairman of American Express who now heads RRE Ventures. Known to his Pilgrim Society pals as “Jimmy three sticks,” Robinson comes from a prominent Atlanta, Georgia banking family. He rubs elbows at Coca-Cola Company ($20 billion) board meetings with Warren Buffett---almost certainly a member. Jimmy is also a director of Bristol-Myers Squibb (another $20 billion enterprise); Novell Incorporated (billion range); First Data Corporation ($7 billion); Union Pacific Corporation ($12 billion) Pinnacor Inc. and various private technology firms including E-Duction Inc.; E-One Global; NetVendor Inc.; Qpass Inc.; Returns Online Inc.; Screaming Media Inc.; ViaFone Inc.; and chairman, Violy, Byorum & Partners Holdings. If these private companies are successful and are taken public, this Pilgrim Society member will emerge another confirmed multi-billionaire---

Harvard graduate Robinson is a director of the Japan Society (forerunner to the Trilateral Commission by 66 years) and is a member of the anti-silver Brookings Institution. His grandfather became president of the First National Bank of Atlanta in 1937 and was a director of Georgia Power and Maryland Casualty and a member of the Jekyll Island, Georgia Club (of Federal Reserve fame!) The middle Robinson (Emory University trustee) became chairman of the First National Bank of Atlanta in 1952 and was a director of Southern Bell Telephone; Georgia International Life; and Scripto Inc., where he knew Pilgrim Society member Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (which see below) and was a member of The Links and Blind Brook Club, New York, well interlocked with The Pilgrims. Robert S. Brookings served on the War Industries Board in World War I as---get this---chairman of the Price-Fixing Committee! (Actual nomenclature!) Brookings currently has interlocks with the World Bank and Goldman Sachs---both opposed to silver in the money system! According to www.searchbarnesandnoble.com Cutting was “an aristocrat known to some as the First Citizen of New York. His genealogy could be a translator’s key to old New York. He was a Fulton and a Cutting, but he was also a Bayard and a Livingston.”In The Pilgrim Society, all the genealogies and countless corporate cross-holdings are all grown together like a strangling tumor, which has, unseen by the public, spread across the landscape to far beyond all distant horizons. That’s why their motto is “Here And Everywhere!” Myers in “History of the Great American Fortunes” (page 43), recounted how British Governor of New York Fletcher gifted Nicholas Bayard with appropriated wealth---“Nicholas Bayard, of whom it is told that he was a go-between in arranging with the sea pirates the price they should pay for Fletcher’s protection, was another favored personage. Bayard was the recipient of a grant forty miles long and thirty broad on both sides of Schoharie Creek.”Other Bayard family tree members have surfaced in The Pilgrims in more recent years, and Thomas F. Bayard was named U.S. Minister to Great Britain in 1893. The third link between Pilgrim Society ancestors and ocean going pirates was in the person of John Jacob Astor. Undoubtedly the British branch has many more such links. Fulton Trust Company was for many years the “largest of institutions that supervise personal trusts” (“America’s 60 Families,” page 41) and as we saw, Pilgrim Society member Frank Witherbee was a director and Rhinelander relative, other huge real estate inheritors dating back to Colonial times. Apparently Robert Fulton Cutting’s ancestors were in league with the British; so it is natural that he would also have been---

The Livingstons were also intermarried with the Schuylers and also with the Beeckmans. Schuyler is another name encountered across the year in Pilgrim Society intermarriages. Myers tells us on page 44 of his valuable reference work (speaking of the early 1700’s)---“Henry Beeckman, the astute and smooth founder of a rich and powerful family, was made a magnate of the first importance by a grant from Fletcher of a tract sixteen miles in length in Dutchess County, and also of another estate running twenty miles along the Hudson and eight miles inland. Likewise Peter Schuyler secured by Fletcher’s patent, a grant fifty miles long in the Mohawk Valley. This was a towering fortune for the period; in its actual command of labor, necessities, comforts and luxuries it ranked as a power of transcending importance.” Montgomery Schuyler, listed in the 1929 Who’s Who, was an heir to these multiple fortunes dating back centuries, was very likely a Pilgrim Society member (most do not so state) and listed himself as a “director of various banks and corporations” after completing a diplomatic career that took him to Russia, Serbia, Japan, Thailand (Siam), Rumania, Mexico and El Salvador. He was a member of a Pilgrim Society front, the American Society for International Law; vice president, Order of Colonial Lords of Manors (British loyalist orientation) and vice president, Society of Descendants of Colonial Governors. SOME NOTES ON AUGUST BELMONTThe August “Bellmont” listed as a 1903 New York member had to have been a Jr. or Belmont II or Belmont 2nd, unless it was the original Belmont in his late years, which could be the case. The original August Belmont was written up to some extent in “Our Crowd” by Birmingham (1967). Let’s take a look---“In the Panic of 1837 Belmont was able to perform a service which he would repeat in subsequent panics, and which helped make him a friend to bankers and to the United States Government. By negotiating large loans from the Rothschilds, he was able to shore up United States debtor banks. In other words, he was able, thanks to the hugeness of the Rothschild reservoir of capital, to start out in America operating his own Federal Reserve System.” (page 39)The Panic of 1837 followed on the demise of the second Bank of the United States, whose charter was not renewed by President Jackson. The money powers retaliated by collapsing the financial system. In the act of “shoring up debtor banks” the money powers over in London gained more control here. This happened as Britain was readying to start the first Opium War against China, for Chinese refusal to just stand back and allow the British to poison their nation with opium. That “trade” was fabulously profitable, with perhaps over 35 million addicts! The British lacked sufficient military power to mount a viable attack against both the United States and China, so they chose China as it was regarded as more important; and also, since matters in the “Colonies” could be dealt with by more subtle means. It was exactly because we refused to renew the charter of the first Bank of the U.S. in 1811, that the British started the War of 1812 and in which our “noble allies” who seek “British-American friendship” and “Anglo-American understanding” burned Washington!“It began to be rumored that the Rothschilds had a reason for wanting Belmont out of Europe. To what hideous Rothschild secret was he privy? There had to be something. Why, if he was their representative, was his new banking house not called N.M. Rothschild & Sons rather than August Belmont & Company? The unfounded rumor started---and is still heard today---that August Belmont was actually an illegitimate Rothschild son.” (page 45)“In the years since his arrival Belmont had been so successful at channeling Rothschild funds into the United States Treasury in return for government securities that he was rewarded, in 1844, by being appointed United States Consul General to Austria---a move designed not only to provide Belmont with prestige but also to place him close to the Vienna House of Rothschild where he could be of further usefulness. When the state of Pennsylvania defaulted on $35 million worth of state bonds held by British investors, including the Rothschilds, Belmont, in Paris trying to place another U.S. Federal Government loan, was told by Baron de Rothschild---“Tell them you have seen the man who is at the head of the finances of Europe, and that he has told you that they cannot borrow a dollar. Not a dollar.” Still, the United States was too good a customer---buying such items as railroad ties, in return for cotton and wheat---for the Rothschilds to remain angry for long.” (pages 73-74)In the process of time the Vienna branch was consolidated into the Paris branch, and London became the main Rothschild operations center. Probably the reason for that was the worldwide power of the British Crown. The two powers seem to have joined forces so as to not possibly wreck each other. Belmont was the American Minister at The Hague, 1855-1858, page 145).“Morgan, Belmont and the Rothschilds formed an axis of financial power.” (page 131) “Then there was the matter of J.P. Morgan. While Morgan was willing to participate with the Seligmans on certain bond issues, he seemed a bit more willing to do business with Belmont. Actually, Morgan, who understood the Belmont-Seligman rivalry perfectly, was beginning to use both men to suit his own needs, playing one against the other whenever the opportunity arose. But Joseph (Seligman) was convinced that Morgan’s freeze-and-thaw attitude toward him was simply because he was Jewish and Belmont wasn’t.” (page 147)Belmont made a public pretense about making an “astonishing religion change” (page 144), apparently to win business being withheld because of animosity towards his first background.“There was one area in which August Belmont excelled. Its name was Rothschild. Belmont was not a spectacular, brilliant, or even interesting financier. He made few, if any, great financial coups. But men like Morgan liked to work with the Rothschilds, and August Belmont, as their agent, was always there, collecting his percentage on the money that passed back and forth. When smaller bankers turned to him, he was never more than barely cooperative. When Goldman, Sachs, for instance, first dreamed of establishing an international operation, they approached a London firm called Kleinwort Sons & Company, to see if an English connection could be arranged. Since the Kleinworts did not know Sachs or Goldman, they discreetly inquired of the Rothschilds for a report on the New York firm’s standing. The Rothschilds didn’t know either, and passed the query along t6o Belmont. Belmont took his time about replying, but eventually sent back a note, via the Rothschilds, saying that Goldman, Sachs & Company was “one firm about which nobody can say anything against.” From a distance of years, this lofty comment sounds like damning with faint praise. But apparently, coming from Belmont, it was enough to reassure the Kleinworts. The connection was established, and Goldman, Sachs & Company were almost deliriously grateful to Belmont “for so generously indorsing us”---an indication of the awe in which Belmont was held on Wall Street.”Page 158 discussed August Belmont’s participation in a syndicate that formed the New York Railway Company planning to build an elevated railway. His partners included Levi P. Morton (Pilgrims 1903); Charles Tiffany (founder of Silver Users Association member, Tiffany & Company); and John Jacob Astor (Pilgrims 1903). Page 159 notes that by 1877 Belmont was on terms with John Sherman, U.S. Treasury Secretary. Cyril H. Kleinwort, international banker based in London whose ancestors profited from British Empire activities, was listed in The Pilgrims of Great Britain circa 1969-leaked list. This gives a hint as to the importance of financial connections in London. The roots of the U.S. financial system are intertwined with London institutions. This might be the first time you heard about the Kleinwort Sons merchant bank, later called Kleinwort Benson Lonsdale. But that connection is what made it possible for Goldman Sachs Group to become a worldwide investment powerhouse, somewhat bigger than Lehman Brothers (Pilgrim Society) and somewhat smaller than Morgan Stanley (Pilgrim Society) and Merrill Lynch (Pilgrim Society). Today Goldman has over 23,000 employees. The head of Goldman Sachs International is Sir Peter Sutherland, member Pilgrims of Great Britain and Bilderberg. Sutherland is also chairman of British Petroleum, one of the five largest industrial corporations in existence. Odds are great that Sir Peter is backing a U.S./British strike against Iran soon, as his financial interests are also linked to memberships in the New York Mercantile Exchange and the International Petroleum Exchange in London. Neither Pilgrim Society run organization wants to see Iran start a competing exchange. The Pilgrims have always had their eyes on Iran! Russian born Lazar Estrin, who came to the U.S. in 1916 at age 24 (probably through ties to revolutionary funding) was with Westminster Bank (National Westminster Bank, London) in 1915-1916, one of the three leading British Empire banks---it is British Petroleum’s bank today; then Estrin got on with Irving Trust Company in New York, and became president of the Iran-America Chamber of Commerce, 1946-1950, and again resuming in 1956 (Who’s Who, 1959). Sir Harry Brittain, a founder of The Pilgrims, presented a photo he took on site at the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in his extremely scarce 1945 book (see near end of article). Sutherland (director general of the World Trade Organization, 1993-1995) is also the recipient of the David Rockefeller (Pilgrim Society) Award---

Under World Trade Organization auspices, the CODEX ALIMENTARIUS control over health supplements including herbs, minerals and vitamins, is rapidly approaching effect here in the United States. In effect in Europe, one example comes from Norway where a bottle of zinc tablets increased from $4 to $52---not counting cost to see a doctor to have a prescription written! The Pilgrims Society continues to “gradually absorb the wealth of the world” and to “seize the wealth necessary,” let’s see how Americans like having to go to a doctor for a prescription to buy what was a $3 bottle of gingko biloba pills (for circulation) at a new price of perhaps over $40---or anything else you can name. Best you stock up before May 2005 ends! So you can have a supply till the enraged public demands restoration of Constitutional sovereignty in United States territory, versus international bodies created by The Secret Society of Pilgrims. See www.iahf.com/world/ for details.Kleinwort is now known as Dresdner Kleinwort, the investment-banking arm of big German bank, Dresdner Bank, and describes itself as a “major force in global investment banking,” with 6,000 employees. The book, “Kleinwort, Benson—The History of Two Families in Banking” came out in 1997. Here’s an announcement from the City University in London concerning the Sir John Cass Business School--- “In May 2003 the School was formally opened by Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, and the Resource Centre was a key area in the royal tour. In recognition of continuing generous financial endowment by the Kleinwort Investment Trust, the base from which library and computing services operate has been named the Cyril Kleinwort Learning Resource Centre. This development was marked by a small evening event in June attended by members of the Kleinwort family in the presence of the Vice-Chancellor of City University.” The Wall Street Journal, July 8, 1983, page 8, reported that the Sharps Pixley subsidiary of Kleinwort Benson Ltd., was named as a defendant in benefiting from the silver price crash that started in January 1980 due to the forced liquidation caused by COMEX management.POLITICIANS AND OTHER MEMBERSLevi Parsons Morton (1824-1920, Pilgrims 1903) whose second marriage was into the Livingston family we had a look at, was commissioner of the Paris Exposition of 1878. He was a Congressman from New York state, 1879-1881; United States Minister to France, 1881-1885; vice President of the U.S., 1889-1893, and governor of New York, 1895-1896. He was a descendant of George Morton, of Yorkshire, England, who was the financial agent in London for the Mayflower Pilgrims, who arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1623. He founded Levi P. Morton & Company, investment bankers, which became Morton, Bliss & Company (we’ll look at Cornelius Bliss next); the firm had a London correspondent, Morton, Chaplin & Company. He was founder and president of Morton Trust Company and Fifth Avenue Trust Company, of New York. Myers in “History of the Great American Fortunes,” page 442 called Morton, Bliss & Company “conspicuous bankers” and noted their involvement with the 1867 swindle known as the Credit Mobilier, a railroad related fraud of which Myers said---“The prospects for profit and loot were unprecedentedly great.”Lundberg in “America’s 60 Families,” page 59, said that Morton, financial crook, was “long entangled in many shady deals” and that he was in with the J.P. Morgan interests. In 1886 Morton, along with the Vanderbilts, approved Theodore Roosevelt’s nomination for Mayor of New York (page 66). As of 1905 Morton was a trustee (page 80) of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Other trustees included Edward Henry Harriman; Jacob Schiff; John Jacob Astor; Cornelius Bliss; and Chauncey Depew---all Pilgrim Society members. Morton Trust Company merged with Guaranty Trust in 1910. Levi P. Morton---

Cornelius Newton Bliss (1833-1911, Pilgrims 1903) was Morton’s banking partner. He had ties to the J.P. Morgan interests (page 64, “America’s 60 Families” said Bliss ran a “slush fund” for J.P. Morgan); he also received a $100,000 bribe from the Rockefellers for favors (page 97). Bliss was Secretary of the Interior, 1897-1899 and became president of the New York Hospital. In 1881 Bliss became the dominant partner in Bliss, Fabyan & Company, large textile mill operators. He chaired the New York State Republican Committee, 1887-1888 and was Republican National Committee treasurer, 1892-1908. He participated in the Pan-American Conference, a far ranging banker scheme to loot the nations to our South; and was a director of Fourth National Bank; Central Trust Company; Home Insurance Company; American Cotton Company; and American Surety Company, in which the Rockefellers held a big interest.

The 1927 Who’s Who, page 293 showed William Henry Bliss (Pilgrims) who was United States District Attorney at Saint Louis, 1872-1888, and became general counsel to the huge Northern Pacific Railroad. Leander Hamilton McCormick (1859-1934, Pilgrims 1903) “Lived in London 17 years; traveler, inventor, art collector; author of over 100 inventions, including aeroplanes, aerial torpedo, motorcycles, a watch which records time the world over, etc.” Other prominent inventors have been members. Jean Ulyxes Koree (born Bucharest, Rumania, 1894, Who’s Who, 1976, page 1766) was Rumanian Consul in New York, 1920; and later became president of Development Finance Corporation and Glycerine Corporation of America. Koree founded the Museum of the City of New York and was cofounder of the Friends of Rumania. Also a Knight Templar Mason and a member of the Order of the Red Cross of Constantine, he was the inventor of “numerous improvements on automatic firearms, airplanes, airplane equipment, other mechanical devices; more recently invented and patented therapeutic preparations for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection and methods of making same.” John Jacob Astor (1864-1912, drowned on The Titanic, Pilgrims 1903) was heir to the largest real estate fortune in existence. His mother was Caroline Schermerhorn. Myers in “History of the Great American Fortunes” (page 163) remarked---“In 1853 William Astor married one of the Schermerhorn family. The Schermerhorns were powerful New York City landholders; and if not quite on the same pinnacle in point of wealth as the Astors, were at any rate very rich.”
